Employee health and safety

The OHS audit activity is a scheduled activity based on the annual audit plan, which covers at least 50% of all the Bank’s branches in any given year. All the materials from reports, post-inspection recommendations or post-accident documentation are then used by the Bank’s relevant organizational units for improvement of safety.

[GRI 102-15] The key risks related to failing to observe OHS rules pertain to the possibility of employees sustaining unfavorable health consequences (chiefly falling, getting hit and mental and physical burdens), the ensuing absence from work and the requirement to disburse damages.

[GRI 103-1, GRI 103-2, GRI 103-3, 102-11] An effective way of preventing these types of risks is to deliver training to employees and administer regular inspections of offices and the bank’s branches with an eye to compliance with the rules of fire protection and OHS.
