So how does ENGEL go about integrating<br />
all its personnel into its work safety processes?<br />
One particularly effective way is the use of online<br />
platforms and lean board graphics. Improvement<br />
projects are created on the basis of<br />
regular on-site “SOS tours” and various checklists.<br />
They are based on a graphic presentation<br />
in the form of a map that marks the locations<br />
where accidents, close-calls (almost an accident)<br />
and risks were identified. The different<br />
locations are then discussed in the team, measures<br />
are derived from the discussion. The central<br />
platform for documentation and follow-ups<br />
are the respective Microsoft Teams groups of<br />
the individual areas or departments. The “SOS<br />
tours”, checklists and safety-relevant measures<br />
derived from them are an essential part of the<br />
company’s health and safety measures, not<br />
only at the Austrian sites, but also at all other<br />
ENGEL sites around the world.<br />
All interested staff members can take advantage<br />
of the available in-house training to<br />
qualify as a safety ombudsman. The necessary<br />
training events take place regularly. The<br />
interest of employees in this training has clearly<br />
exceeded the prescribed minimum number of<br />
safety ombudsmen. ENGEL is proud to have<br />
many committed first responders and emergency<br />
paramedics among its workforce, who<br />
are qualified to help in the case of an accident.<br />
support in the form of an occupational health<br />
and reintegration management programme.<br />
The aim of this programme is to help returning<br />
employees in restoring their work capacity and<br />
safeguarding their health over the long term.<br />
Participation in the occupational health and reintegration<br />
management programme is voluntary<br />
but recommended, because people who<br />
were absent from work for a long time often<br />
experience difficulties finding their way back<br />
into the work process of their own accord.<br />
Another effective measure ENGEL takes to<br />
support the sustained health of its workforce is<br />
the ENGEL “healthy & fit” programme. The programme<br />
is based on four pillars:<br />
• Resilience<br />
• Nutrition<br />
• Exercise<br />
• Addiction Prevention<br />
Within this framework, various training courses,<br />
ongoing workshops, lectures and courses on<br />
different health-promoting topics are offered. In<br />
addition, employees can take advantage of<br />
various discounts at health-related institutions.<br />
The offer was rounded off with “Lease my bike”.<br />
ENGEL employees benefit from an inexpensive<br />
form of bike leasing and can also make a contribution<br />
to protecting the environment.<br />
ENGEL attaches great importance not only<br />
to the current, but also the long-term health<br />
and wellbeing of its employees. All employees<br />
who have been unable to work for more than<br />
six weeks in the past twelve months are offered<br />
