At the Alstom Power construction sites in Finland we have clear EHS standards and instructions in place, we also control that our employees are following these standards. An EHS representative is appointed for each Alstom Power construction site.
Our goal is zero accidents. Every accident, first aid case and near miss is taken seriously. All accidents and serious near misses are investigated and the root causes are analyzed. Corrective actions to these root causes are taken to prevent same accidents to happen again.
