Groupe Renault - 2020 Universal Registration Document

215 GROUPE RENAULT I UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 2020 02 OUR SOCIAL COMMITMENT GROUPE RENAULT GROUPE RENAULT: A COMPANY THAT ACTS RESPONSIBLY CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RENAULT AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF RENAULT ON APRIL 23, 2021 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Risk mapping EFPD3a DV1a 2.4.2.1 DHSEE engaged in an intense worldwide risk evaluation activity by visiting sites and performing wall to wall inspections with the aim of identifying key areas of risk. On the back of this activity DHSEE developed and launched 10 Mandatory Safety Rules (10 MR) with 74 supporting Key Requirements. The rules capture a wide range of topics including: 5S (focusing on establishing and sustaining order, tidiness and cleanliness), work on installations (Lock Out Tag Out), managing access to dangerous parts of machinery, traffic management (safe site, safe vehicle, safe driver), storage and handling of heavy loads, chemical management, working at height, management of subcontractors, fire prevention, ergonomics and many other topics. To date, the DHSEE performed 308 10MR site audits, which equates to approximately 1,170 departments simultaneously engaging with thousands of employees. League tables showing the level of progress by percentage compliance and ranking for audited sites in respective business domains are now established. Manufacturing sites have developed in house 10MR Dojos as part of their information, instruction and training induction programs. In 2019, the DHSEE developed Mandatory Rules and Key Requirements to support health, environment, ergonomics, fire and projects. These rules were to be tested on various sites throughout 2020. This was only partially achieved, due to the pandemic (COVID-19) taking priority and the intense involvement of the DHSEE in supporting the COVID-19 exposure control measures and business continuity. Simultaneously the number of physical safety 10MR/74KR audits and coaching carried out during 2020 by DHSEE was severely impacted by the constraints linked to the pandemic. Nevertheless, capabilities to conduct remote audits and coaching were also carried out successfully using live communication tools. At the same time, the sites were trained so that they will be able to carry out self-assessments. Furthermore, and in order to apply the hierarchy of control upstream, DHSEE project team accompany the projects through their milestones to promote inherent safe design of the installations which will enter in the sites and their conformity to all Mandatory Rules. Procedures for regular assessments 2.4.2.2 ECD3a DV2a Field assessments A. The DHSEE performs follow-up audits based on established 10MR compliance roadmap guidelines. However, there is flexibility to accommodate other factors such as a special request made by a site, an incident, performance, launch of a new project, introduction of new technology, etc. The need as to where, when and why analyzed with the DHSEE and discussed with the sites. The number of audits carried out by DHSEE during 2020 has been greatly reduced due to the constraints linked to the pandemic (lockdowns, teleworking, travel restrictions) and the priority given to protect personnel from exposure to the coronavirus. Overall, in 2020, there were 13 official audits of which three were in the manufacturing scope. Nevertheless, DHSEE continually helps the sites to develop self-assessment capabilities and as such sites continue to self-check with remote support from DHSEE (however we continue to physically engage in the field when the conditions permit). Statistical assessment to complement field B. assessment HSEE statisticians have performed an intense pareto analysis of historical incidents stemming 10 years which includes no fewer than 6,000 incidents. This helps us pinpoint the effect of the Mandatory Rules on areas of risk and incident causation and allows us to adapt our strategy in relation to incident prevention. This is further epitomized with a dedicated team inside the DHSEE, tasked with working upstream on projects whose primary objective is to integrate prevention in design. In parallel, this team works closely with the field experts to identify areas in serial life that through redesign could have eliminated residual hazards. Appropriate risk mitigation actions 2.4.2.3 DV3a A brief overview of some of the key areas we are working on is presented below. Project Management A. Three dedicated DHSEE correspondents are assigned to support HSEE matters upstream in projects: From the earliest stage of the project to ensure HSEE deliverables P are compliant at each milestone, in particular: inherent safe design. By applying risk assessments and hazard characterization. P In deployment of training courses for project management, thus P enhancing awareness of HSEE requirements (legal and specific to Renault). By provision of tools for managing HSEE compliance in projects P and the publication of an HSEE information gazette for all players involved. In managing effective two-way feedback between projects and P HSEE. The correspondents work in collaboration with other DHSEE experts and with Engineering to produce standards, guides and norms to be applied. To this end, during 2020, the DHSEE project management team created Five Project Mandatory Rules to be tested during 2021.
