Hexagon Annual Report 2019

65 2019 AT A GLANCE FROM THE BOARD ROOM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Sustainability Report HOW HEXAGON WORKS HEALTH AND SAFETY AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT HEALTH AND SAFETY Keeping its employees safe is Hexagon’s top priority during operations and therefore Hexagon has a target of zero work- related accidents or injuries that result in employee absence. Hexagon’s manufacturing facilities are comprised of industrial processes that involve complex machinery and processes, rapidly moving parts and equipment, high heat, caustic chemicals and pressurized gas. Hexagon has estab- lished secure operating routines to manage these processes in a responsible manner and to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. Hexagon believes that this promotes efficiency and lowers operating costs. Hexagon has coordinated quarterly global environment, health and safety (EHS) executive management reviews aimed at identifying EHS challenges and establishing initia- tives to address these challenges. In addition, a global EHS team meets monthly to systematically identify injury, fire and hazardous substances emission risks. Specific initiatives that will lead to lower injuries and illnesses across the global operations are also discussed. A shared performance metric that is used as a leading indicator for reducing overall injuries and incidents has been established for the great majority of Hexagon’s facilities in 2019. The aim of this coordinated effort is to share informa- tion between the manufacturing facilities to identify “best practice”. Hexagon implemented several health and wellness initiatives during 2019 with the goal of improving the overall health of its people.
