Safety training for contractors (EU17)

All contractor and subcontractor employees working at Vattenfall plants and on Vattenfall facilities receives the necessary health and safety information. The content and the extent of instructions and training depends on the working area and the working tasks of the contractor and subcontractor employees. Preventive health and safety measures cover essential dangers related to Vattenfall’s facilities, plants and processes, and are adapted to the specific national legal requirements of the specific plant or facility.

As a part of its procurement process, Vattenfall ensures that suppliers, their subcontractors and sub-suppliers act according to the Vattenfall code of conduct for Suppliers. This includes complying with the respective countries’ health and safety legislation and ensuring that employees have undergone the necessary health and safety training. Vattenfall’s Code of Conduct for Suppliers was introduced in 2008 and will be implemented in all parts of the Vattenfall Group in 2009.

Instructions and training are carried out in the decentralised line organisation, and data is not aggregated at the Group level.
