Our CSR commitments: Ensuring the safety of all our employees in the workplace  

Jun 13, 2024

 At Sixense, CSR means 15 commitments that we will share with you over the coming weeks in a series of dedicated news items.  

Today, we’re kicking off this series with an important commitment for our company, and one that is more important to us than anything else on a daily basis: ensuring the safety of all our employees in the workplace. 

 

We’re aiming for zero accidents. But how do we get there?

Safety is everyone’s business! At Sixense, this is much more than just a slogan, it is a commitment  

that we live by every day. Our proactive approach to making this commitment a reality relies on: 

  • A strategy and action plan on safety, health, and the quality of life at work
  • A dedicated organisation for effective implementation of safety protocols
  • Risk analysis for all work sites and operations
  • Raising the awareness of personnel in the field about safety rules and accident prevention and

training them accordingly 

  • Developing a comprehensive workplace accident dashboard, involving all stakeholders on our projects.

 

Proof through action:

Well-established rituals :

The “Safety Days”, a week dedicated to safety in the workplace, has become one of our annual safety rituals. This is an opportunity for our teams to look deeper into this fundamental element of our activity. This year, at the end of May, the focus was on the impact of our decisions. 

Here are a few examples and figures:   

  • At Sixense Monitoring, 2164 hours of dedicated safety training were provided in 2023.  
  • At Sixense Engineering, more than 200 site safety visits were conducted in 2023. 

Preventing all types of risk in our business units:

  

Some of our employees work in high-risk jobs. In 2020, Sixense acquired
Helimap, a Swiss company providing data acquisition and processing services using helicopters and ULMs. Sixense Helimap employees received very structured safety training, focused on the fundamentals of a good mission preparation and its application in real conditions. They were
also trained in first aid. The main focus in Sixense activities is to anticipate and prevent all types of risks.

 

What our employees have to say:

In Morocco, we have made safety a priority. For the past 3 years, every new employee has started with around ten days of safety training. To work on a site, they must show that they have fully integrated Sixense Morocco's safety rules and understood how personal protective equipment are used and under which conditions. This approach is very fruitful. People feel valued because they realise that the most important thing is their own safety. This is an undeniable advantage for our clients.” Yassine Mounad - Head of Development and Operations - Sixense Morocco
