Guaranteeing safety
The zero accident objective for all people working on its construction and operation sites remains the Group’s number-one priority.
Due to the nature of its businesses, the Group focuses on promoting a true safety culture from the highest executive levels down to managers and site teams. This approach applies to all individuals – employees, temporary staff and subcontractors – working on a VINCI construction or operating site, as well as customers of managed infrastructure.
The Group’s health and safety policy is overarching and aims to anticipate and prevent all occupational risks and psychosocial risks. It also aims to ensure quality of life in the workplace and the redeployment of employees who have suffered a workplace accident or occupational illness.
At Group level and under the Executive Committee’s authority, this policy is managed by the health and safety coordination team, which brings together the heads of health and safety networks in all the business lines. VINCI’s health and safety policy is implemented under the direct oversight of managers, who are responsible for spreading the safety culture on a daily basis.
Managers receive regular safety training and are assessed on their practices in this area. The accident prevention Pivot Clubs and internal collaborative platforms help disseminate and monitor health and safety measures for the community of health and safety coordinators and experts. In the field, the accident prevention programme is managed by a network of 2,850 health and safety employees.
