Daimler 360 GRAD - FAKTEN zur Nachhaltigkeit 2008 Daimler Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Employees / Workforce and management relations / Occupational health and safety / Preventing accidents with EVA* Preventing accidents with EVA* Studies have shown that most accidents at work result from incorrect behavior on the part of employees rather than technical errors. To help prevent this type of accidents, Daimler has developed a program known as “Changing Attitudes and Behavior to Ensure Work Safety” (German acronym: EVA). The program has already been successfully implemented in Hamburg, Sindelfingen, and Untertürkheim, and we are gradually establishing it as the standard for all of our plants in Germany. EVA is based on the well-known safety principles of prevention, inspections, standards, management culture, attitudes, and behavior. * Content on this page is available exclusively on the Internet.
Daimler 360 GRAD - FAKTEN zur Nachhaltigkeit 2008 Daimler Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Employees / Workforce and management relations / Occupational health and safety / Activities against HIV/AIDS* Our activities against HIV/AIDS at our national subsidiaries* The fight against HIV/AIDS Daimler has been actively involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS since the early 1990s. Cooperation with a South African regional chamber of commerce and Germany’s DEG development agency has enabled us to persuade many medium- sized companies to participate in our HIV/AIDS initiatives in South Africa. The fight against HIV/AIDS also continues in Germany, where information on AIDS forms part of the curriculum in all training programs. Activities at our national subsidiaries In 1991, Daimler South Africa paved the way by drawing up a guideline that recognizes HIV/AIDS as a workplace issue and protects those infected by the disease from discrimination. Since 2005, activities at our subsidiaries have been based on Group-wide global guidelines, whereby we employ three different approaches: In those countries that have experienced only a moderate outbreak of the disease, our work focuses on education and sensitization; in countries where HIV/AIDS is on the rise, we seek to prevent it from spreading even further; in countries where HIV/AIDS is widespread, we have implemented extensive workplace programs. Within the framework of this approach, we launched various activities at our subsidiaries in 2007 that ranged from lectures on the disease to the provision of medical consultation services for those who have become infected. Efforts at our subsidiaries in Brazil and Spain also focus on employees’ family members, and in Malaysia even extend to our suppliers. The instruments we employ in our efforts include information material that is made available at numerous subsidiaries. In Brazil, India, Malaysia, and Thailand, we organize information sessions and workshops. We also distribute free condoms in Thailand, and a week before Brazil’s annual Carnival festival, we conducted a campaign on HIV/AIDS prevention. In addition, subsidiaries in India, Thailand, and Malaysia are cooperating with external partners such as NARI SAHARA AALHAD, the Thailand Business Coalition on AIDS (TBCA), and the Malaysian AIDS Foundation. At the end of 2007, we successfully launched the SIYAKHANA project in South Africa following an 18-month pilot phase. The project is now being implemented at 17 companies, where it has reached 26,000 men and women. SIYAKHANA — a public-private partnership initiated by Daimler — is designed to reduce the prevalence of HIV in small and medium-sized companies and to improve the lives of the people who work there. The project is based on a workplace program that’s been in place at Mercedes-Benz’ East London plant since 2001. The experience thus gained through that project is now being put to work by Daimler to help other companies in the region. * Content on this page is available exclusively on the Internet.
