OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAMS Safeguarding our people Every employee, guest, and contractor who comes to work at EDC is assured that they can come home safely, and while there are potential risks to health and safety that are inherent in the production and delivery of energy, our company adheres to the highest safety standards at our well-maintained power plants. Even in an office setting, EDC ensures that employees have a work environment that is conducive to their well-being. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, at all ages SDG 3 Target: Reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment, and promote mental health and well-being Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all SDG 8 Target: Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value 91
When it comes to prioritizing and practicing occupational health and safety, our Corporate Safety and Health Policy promotes a workplace culture emphasizing care as a shared responsibility. Our Health, Environment, and Safety Group (HESG) sets the codes of conduct, practices, and mandatory health and safety standards on all aspects of our operations. At the core of it, however, is our Lopez value Employee Welfare and Wellness and the genuine empathy and goodwill felt by our employees. They know that they can count on each other, and their company, to look out for everyone’s welfare. Apart from ensuring that the physical facilities are well-maintained and strictly compliant with building safety codes, EDC also sees to it that the employees are kept well-informed and trained in the procedures that guarantee their safety, including in the event of an emergency. Safety trainings are continuously conducted in all the facilities to ensure that all workers, both employees and contractors, are knowledgeable of the safety standards and programs, aware of the various hazards and corresponding control measures at the workplaces, and fully compliant with safety rules and regulations. Ours is a case of mutual trust: the employees trust that the company will keep them safe, and the company trusts that the employees and contractors take their safety training to heart and will be able to handle themselves should the occasion call for it. EDC recognizes and safeguards the human right to life and security, and the constitutional right to healthful ecology. We see the retention of a healthy workforce and the promotion of their well-being as crucial to our sustainability as a company. Our commitment to health even extends beyond the office setting. Our Lifelong Wellness Program provides our employees and their families in our head office and business units with access to healthrelated education, tools, and programs that promote good health and well-being. 2016 H&S Programs Consequence Management Program (Life-Saving Rules) Contractor Safety Management Program Implementation of Permit to Work (PTW) Standard Safety Audits, Inspections, Walkthroughs Safety Coordination/ Alignment Meetings Safety Performance Analysis and Improvement Regulatory Compliance Reporting 92 I Energy Development Corporation Performance Report 2016
