Health and safety management system
The EAC pledges to achieve high levels of safety standards, continuous improvement of health and safety performance indicators and compliance with applicable legislative provisions, for the prevention of incidents involving its personnel or the general public. Towards this end, the EAC has developed and implements an effective health & safety management system, which is uploaded on the EAC portal server, aiming to become a useful tool in the workplace. An introduction course on the implementation of the “Health and Safety Management System”, which aims at the continuous development and improvement on occupational health and safety matters within the EAC, has been organised by the safety officers in collaboration with the district and power station management.
The Health & Safety Management System is an important tool for occupational health and safety issues. The implementation of the provisions of the Health & Safety Management System at all levels of the EAC aims to reduce occupational accidents and to maintain a safe and healthy work environment. Through the risk assessment study, the dangers for all the activities within the EAC have been identified and evaluated, and the appropriate measures have been implemented to prevent and eliminate hazardous situations.
The safety officers in collaboration with the district and power station management play an essential role in the successful implementation of the Health & Safety Management System and its constant development and configuration based on the requirements of the law.
The EAC Management is committed to keeping a high level of standards on health and safety issues, to continuously improving the health & safety work environment and to complying with legislation requirements in order to prevent – as far as reasonably possible – incidents that may result in:
- impacting health and safety of the workers,
- impacting health and safety of persons involved in the activities of the EAC,
- impacting health and safety of third parties,
- loss, damage, destruction of equipment, facilities, property, environment,
- large scale of accidents,
- a combination of the above,
in order to achieve a high level of standards on health and safety issues.
