Comprehensive Health and Safety Plan for 2010-2014
Through its Comprehensive Health and Safety Plan, Fluxys takes steps to prevent accidents in the workplace more effectively. The Comprehensive Health and Safety Plan for the period 2010-2014 comprises 16 cross-company projects, which include a clear description of the action to be taken and the Fluxys departments concerned and form the basis for annual action plans. The 16 cross-company projects underwent two evaluations in 2010 and were adapted where necessary in line with the company's requirements.
Actively raising awareness of a safety culture
Fluxys is extremely diligent in providing training and support for all staff when it comes to safety risks, not only within its technical departments but also in its offices. Special emphasis is placed on regular safety visits to workplaces by line managers and collaboration between all departments and between each individual department and contractors is paramount. In 2010, a safety manual was compiled outlining the key rules governing safety to be observed by all persons on site. A wellbeing training course was organised for managerial staff to reiterate key safety aspects and in 2011, a similar refresher course will be run for technical and operational staff.

Coordinating safety on temporary and mobile sites
Right from the initial phase of any of its own infrastructure works, Fluxys drafts a safety, health and environmental protection plan. The company also goes to great lengths to communicate fully with contractors, both before and during the subsequent works, to ensure that all parties have been properly informed of the potential risks involved. Safety coordination within the company is also organised in such a way as to ensure that the stipulated safety measures are harmonised, both at the design stage and during performance. It is important that any required changes are made depending on the specific features of each project and environmental considerations.
In the case of larger scale projects, Fluxys brings in external safety coordinators. Project leaders and design engineers who have completed level-B safety coordinator training are authorised to oversee for smaller scale projects.
