Health and safety issues are managed by the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) team, under a hierarchical governance framework involving Regional HSE Directors and local management.
The Health and Safety Management System, which complies with the UNI ISO 45001:2018 standard and is integrated into the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System for the Group’s plants, enables Prysmian to provide safe and healthy work environments. Using a structured, proactive approach, the Group prevents injuries and occupational diseases, removes or reduces risks – including shortcomings in the system – and encourages continuous improvement in health and safety performance.
The Health, Safety, Environment and Energy (HSEE) Policy guides the Group with transparency and accountability, backed by monitoring, audits and improvement plans.
Prysmian uses comprehensive tools to collect data, monitor injuries and near misses, conduct periodic audits and implement improvement plans.
The main initiatives related to health and safety undertaken by the Group in 2025 include:
- Worker safety: Zero & Beyond — the program continued to represent the cornerstone of the Group’s HSE strategy, promoting a safety culture based on responsible behaviors, proactive prevention and the involvement of everyone at all levels of the organization. The objective continues to be to go “beyond zero”, aiming to not only eliminate accidents, but to also create a truly safe and healthy work environment.
- Traffic management: mitigation procedures and measures across all reporting units — 2025 saw the Group focus on traffic within its production sites around the world, implementing standardized procedures, segregated walkways, special signage and obligatory mitigation measures. Centralized monitoring via the global action tracker enables us to assess progress in implementing actions and ensure consistency across all business units.
- Upgrade of anti-collision technologies on forklifts — Prysmian has launched a plan to update anti-collision technologies installed in its forklift fleet, introducing advanced anti-collision systems and smart sensors to reduce the risk of accidents at logistics and production facilities. The initiative is helping to improve workplace safety and prevent events linked to the movement of materials.
