IN 2010, THE ACCIDENT fREQUENCY RATE* fOR ALL SITES WAS 5.83, COMPARED<br />

WITH 6.35 IN 2009, AND THE SEVERITY RATE* DROPPED fROM 0.22 TO 0.19<br />

IMPLEMENTATION Of THE HEALTH & SAfETY PLAN<br />

After an initial phase concerned mainly with accident prevention,<br />

<strong>the</strong> second phase of <strong>the</strong> Group’s Health & Safety plan was put<br />

into effect to intensify efforts aimed to prevent muscular strain<br />

injury (MSI). In France, every factory and logistics site set up<br />

an MSI steering committee and appointed one or more MSI<br />

specialists to ensure that <strong>the</strong>se risks are taken into account at every<br />

level, from product design to <strong>the</strong> monitoring of high-stress workstations<br />

or particularly arduous tasks. All layout designers and local<br />

managers will be given training in this area by <strong>the</strong> end of 2011<br />

(250 were trained in 2010), and a special training module will<br />

be developed for operatives. This action plan, adapted to local<br />

circumstances, will be gradually extended internationally from<br />

2011.<br />

PLAYING TOGETHER, AT WORK AND AT SCHOOL<br />

Ouria Belaziz, CGT trade union representative for <strong>Groupe</strong> <strong>SEB</strong> in France,<br />

a member of <strong>the</strong> CGT Metal Industry Federal Bureau, member of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Groupe</strong><br />

<strong>SEB</strong> Diversity Committee<br />

“In 2010, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Groupe</strong> <strong>SEB</strong> Sustainable Development department asked me to visit classes at<br />

<strong>the</strong> Jacques Brel Lycée in Vénissieux, in what is considered a ‘sensitive’ neighbourhood.<br />

I accepted so that I could explain to young people that trade union delegates are key players in<br />

industrial labour relations. I used <strong>the</strong> analogy of class delegates to show that whatever <strong>the</strong><br />

context, school or workplace, it is important to get involved in collective issues. There was<br />

lively debate at <strong>the</strong>se sessions about why we should be concerned about collective life – some<br />

students were convinced of <strong>the</strong> need to be involved, while o<strong>the</strong>rs were less so, though none<br />

were indifferent. These young people have limited knowledge of <strong>the</strong> world of work. Their goal<br />

is to get a job and a wage. They want to make <strong>the</strong>ir voice heard, but <strong>the</strong>y don’t have much of an<br />

idea of working in teams and group relations. I hope our exchanges will have helped <strong>the</strong>m to<br />

make progress on this point.”<br />

ACTIVE LABOUR DIALOGUE<br />

<strong>Groupe</strong> <strong>SEB</strong> signed 90 collective agreements around <strong>the</strong> world in<br />

2010. These included two specific agreements in France. The first<br />

refers to <strong>the</strong> introduction of a collective retirement savings plan,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> second to psycho-social risks relating to stress,<br />

harassment or violence at work.<br />
