Other guidelines:

We create a safe and friendly working environment for our employees. We run health programs for our employees and activities related to the prevention of occupational health issues. We follow health and safety procedures and internal policies in this area.

Our initiatives in 2019:

  • We developed a new risk assessment process for all employees. The documentation was approved by a physician specializing in occupational medicine and a trade union representative. We developed e-learning courses for employees in the area of occupational risk assessment.
  • We conducted e-learning training to familiarize employees with the risk assessment documentation for 8,472 employees.
  • We updated all health and safety procedures.
  • We trained 52 employees in first aid.
  • We carried out occupational health and safety audits in all branches and business support centre locations where Santander Bank Polska employees work.
  • We trained our OHS employees in first aid by enrolling them in the Certified First Aid training.
  • An OHS Coordinator was appointed to review the operation, cleaning and maintenance of air-conditioning and ventilation systems, including the chemicals used. The checks carried out in the Business Support Centre buildings did not reveal any irregularities.

  • In 2019, the accident severity index fell by 8.34 compared to the previous year which measures the average number of days lost per victim of a work-related accident.

Our health promotion activities included:

  • 252

    Dermatoscopic examinations in mobile buses, in four locations of the Business Support Centre (Warsaw, Poznań, Wrocław and Lublin). In total, 252 employees were examined.

  • 331

    Mammography examinations in mobile buses, in three Business Support Centre locations (Warsaw, Wrocław and Poznań). In total, 331 employees were examined.

  • Implementation of an electronic application form for reimbursement of the cost of corrective glasses.
  • Adaptation of the procedures in force, definition of the principles of operation and preparation of appropriate instructions in relation to the emergence of the epidemiological risk of SARS-CoV-2
