As stated in the commitment of the VINCI Manifesto “Together! Strive for zero accidents”, employee safety remains the Group’s number one priority. VINCI rejects the idea that workplace accidents are unavoidable.
VINCI’s businesses are exposed to several major risks (falling from heights, moving heavy loads, electrical hazards, collisions with worksite machinery). These risks are difficult to control due to the Group’s business model, with its multiple worksites, variety of settings, simultaneous activities, third parties. Its true safety culture has been instrumental in achieving better results than most of the Group’s peers. 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 aims to eliminate all accidents by adhering to rigorous methods: safety by design, ongoing risk assessment, implementation procedures, appropriate collective and personal protection equipment, training, and continuous feedback.
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. In the field, the accident prevention programme is managed by a network of 2,850 health and safety employees. And progress is tangible: in 2025, 76% of VINCI companies reported no lost-time workplace accidents. This proves that the target can be reached. Safety is an everyday goal. VINCI’s Chief Executive Officer has initiated a collective campaign and made safety a key priority, with the support of the Board of Directors.
