Healt and Safety
The Risk Assessment Document required under the statutory framework regulating workplace safety constitutes the main point of reference on health and safety matters for all Telecom Italia Media Group companies.
 |
First and foremost, the document analyses the risks to which employees are exposed as a result of their professional activities as well as offices layout. The document then identifies appropriate risk-containment measures, both already implemented and to be implemented, which are aimed at maintaining an adequate level of safety. Lastly, the document lays down a timetable for the implementation of the new risk-containment measures recommended in the document itself. Risk Assessment Documents are prepared by all Group companies and therefore cover all the employees of the Group.
Risk analysis of the working environment and work methods and processes has not revealed any specific risks or hazards. The aforesaid risks are always addressed in the periodic updates of the aforesaid Risk Assessment Documents which, together with the Emergency Plans and evacuation ground plan, are subject to revision at pre-established intervals.
Work continued during the year on raising awareness about environmental and safety issues with ad hoc training initiatives, as well as on accident-prevention measures to be adopted and first aid, delivering special training for designated fire-prevention and first-aid officers, in full accordance with the reference statutory framework.
At the end of the year, the Work-Related Stress Risk Assessment was carried out (Legislative Decree No. 81/08 – amended by Legislative Decree No. 106/09 Art.28, paragraph 1-bis), which revealed a low-risk level for Telecom Italia Media S.p.A.. In particular, no significant risks were reported for Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting, apart from electrical risk for High-Frequency engineers. Prevention measures were identified for this risk involving adapting electrical installations in the TV stations and a sampling check through a Certification Body (Ellisse, recognized as a leading certification body by ISPESL, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Prevention) of earthing installations and electrical protection devices.
Regular medical visits, at precise intervals, continued relating to the risks identified in the work environments and particularly for Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting’s High-Frequency engineers who every year undergo eye tests, cardiology visits with phonometric examinations and blood tests.
