Occupational Safety
Enedis carries out 50,000 safety prevention visits every year.
While executing maintenance, repair or upgrade works, factors like heavy machinery, height and electrical current represent major risks for the employees. Adequate equipment and training of the technicians are mandatory, and the defined protocols must be performed whether it is live or power off works. Risk is inherent in distribution network operations, but in addition to fundamental safety rules, the professionalism of everyone is essential.
We strongly believe that establishing safe work and communication environments will help to prevent accidents. For this reason, our organization puts forward communication amongst managers, apprentices and employees. Numerous campaigns and recommendations are regularly broadcast amongst our agents in order to establish the appropriate doctrine around health and safety prevention. The zero severe or deadly accident policy is Enedis’ main objective for 2025, including internal employees, provider employees and third parties.
