Don’t endanger yourself or others

13 Occupational Health, Safety & Well-being

Telia Company’s approach to health and well-being is built on promoting healthy and safe work conditions, preventing occupational risks and ill health, and rapidly reacting to injuries and unsafe conditions. This applies to both physical and psycho-social aspects. We want to protect and improve the health and safety of everyone who works for or with us, everywhere we operate.

Three key things

1

A healthy and safe workplace is everybody’s responsibility

2

It’s about more than preventing accidents

3

Think about what issues exist in your team

Do the right thing

We offer and maintain a healthy and safe working environment that meets or exceeds global standards and national legislation.

But a healthy and safe workplace is not only about preventing accidents:

  • Both physical and psycho-social well-being are important
  • We prioritize work processes, design of service, and working methods that reduce the negative impact on the individual
  • Safety must always be the most important factor when making a decision

A healthy and safe work environment is everybody’s responsibility, so it’s important you understand and follow the safety rules and routines by:

  • Taking personal responsibility for your own health, safety and well-being
  • Contributing to a safe working environment
  • Halting and reporting unsafe situations, without putting yourself or others in danger

In practice

To keep health, safety and well-being top of mind, ask yourself and your team these questions:

  • Do we have an everyday health, safety and well-being culture in our team? How well does it work? How can we make it better?
  • How does a healthy work environment contribute to our business?
  • What kind of health and safety risks do we have in our team?
  • Do we have a plan to identify, prevent and correct risks?
  • Do we know how to report a near miss, incident or work injury?
  • How can we promote good health and well-being in our team?
