Occupational safety and accident prevention
These are top priorities in the EVN Group.
Due to the nature of their work, a large number of employees are subject to dangers posed by electrical power, natural gas, hot water and steam.
For this reason, EVN attaches great important to measures designed to optimally ensure a high safety level to protect employees in all business areas. It primarily relies on training and building safety awareness.
Accordingly, in addition to binding legal regulations, EVN has developed a comprehensive internal safety manual consisting of business directives and guidelines. The main section is a special “Safety Handbook“ tailored to working conditions in the energy industry and available to each employee on the company Intranet.
Despite the highest safety standards, there was unfortunately one deadly occupational accident at EVN in Lower Austria during the past financial year. We sincerely regret this, and will use this tragic event to untiringly strive to further improve our safety precautions. In contrast, EVN succeeded in reducing the overall number of occupational accidents.
