At Ørsted, we prioritise and protect the physical, social, and psychological safety of everyone in the workplace. Through our robust health and safety management system, which is fundamental to our operations and to secure a safe system of work, we foster a culture that promotes our employees’ health and safety. All (100 %) of our employees are covered by our health and safety management system. We have established a 'Global policy for quality, health, safety, and environment (QHSE)', setting the standards for how we protect and ensure the well-being of our employees and the sustainability of our operations. The policy covers all our employees and facilities, with accountability resting with our Head of QHSE. We aim to incorporate equality, health, safety, and environment in all our decisions and actions, and we have implemented workplace accident prevention procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees.

Ørsted uses the total recordable injury rate (TRIR) as a metric to monitor safety performance. TRIR targets are proposed by different business areas, validated by the QHSE department, and then discussed and approved by the Group Executive Team. Senior management is involved in monitoring safety performance and establishing future targets. The Group Executive Team has decided our ambition for employee satisfaction and motivation, which supports one of our four strategic pillars of being the leading talent platform in renewable energy. Employee satisfaction and motivation should be in the top tier (top 25%).
