Furthermore, HR applies the “precautionary principle” in all its areas of operation (HR planning, selection and recruitment, training & development, succession planning, evaluation, reward) to prevent any risks in its areas of operation.
As a precautionary measure, all employees performing any kind of work (including inspection) in explosive atmospheres were trained according to EN 60079 – 17 “Explosive atmospheres, Equipment repair, overhaul and reclamation”.
In the area of procurement, “the precautionary principle” is one of the basic principles of operations and has been included in the formulation of the specific procurement strategy, which pays particular attention to ensuring for smooth and uninterrupted supply under the best economic conditions and always in accordance with the approved procurement manual.
