A RESPONSIBLE GROUP / SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Our social responsibility With almost 134,000 employees in over 80 countries, human resources are the key to VINCI’s performance. The Group’s decentralised human resources management aims to develop and promote skills, ensure safe working conditions and foster social dialogue that refl ects the reality on the ground. VINCI posted 4% growth in its work-force (+5,000 jobs), primarily in the construction and roads business lines. 112 VINCI 2005 ANNUAL REPORT Ensuring employee safety and health SAFETY VINCI’s goal is zero accidents, so safety is a constant focus for the whole Group. The policy initiated in 2002 and the subsequent action plans have cut the accident frequency rate by more than 40% and reduced accident severity. More than half of VINCI’s profi t centres ended 2005 without reporting any work accidents involving lost time. The awards obtained by VINCI companies for their safety initiatives can be consulted on www.vinci.com. Goal: zero accidents Action plans were reinforced and adapted to the varying situations in all business lines and companies. They included the appointment of safety coordinators, organisation of 15-minute safety sessions on worksites, inter-company competitions, worksite induction programmes, risk evaluation procedures and the publication of statistics. Among the initiatives launched in 2005, some stand out for their particularly innovative and exemplary nature. At VINCI Concessions, in partnership with the French government’s road safety and traffi c department (DSCR), Cofi route is raising its customers’ awareness of motorway safety rules and participates in many joint actions in this fi eld. The accident prevention plan put in place in-house has reduced the number of accidents involving Cofi route employees by 33% in four years. VINCI Energies’ senior management convened a meeting in June for its 150 managers, as well as the coordinators responsible for accident prevention and safety in the various divisions and countries. The aim of the meeting was to analyse accident prevention and safety results, discuss ways of improving performance while consolidating the progress already made and reaffi rm the key role played by management in achieving the zero accident target. After focusing on reducing the number of worksite accidents due to falls from heights, injuries, cuts and electric shocks, the senior managers, safety coordinators and human resources managers turned their attention to near miss situations. In Belgium, all employees must fi ll in a form to report any potentially dangerous situation witnessed. Solutions are discussed in worksite meetings and customers are informed. Eurovia introduced safety training for all new employees arriving at a worksite. They are asked to take a test based on 30 real-life situations and must obtain a minimum score of 25 to gain access to the site. The test, which is available via the company’s intranet and on all the Papyrus tablet PCs used by foremen, also allows continuous assessment of the safety knowledge acquired and subsequent adaptation of preventive actions. Some 12,000 employees have taken the test in the past two years and the initiative won a prize in the VINCI 2005 Innovation Awards Competition. VINCI Construction launched an in-house campaign to raise employee awareness of the risks associated with the consumption of alcohol and drugs. The campaign was tested on pilot worksites and is now being extended across the business line, in
