216 GROUPE RENAULT I UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 2020 Find out more at group.renault.com 02 OUR SOCIAL COMMITMENT GROUPE RENAULT: A COMPANY THAT ACTS RESPONSIBLY AVTOVAZ B. The DHSEE appointed a dedicated manager to support AVTOVAZ. In 2018 seven (7) members of the DHSEE team visited AVTOVAZ to work in collaboration with the local team and establish a baseline reference point from which improvement initiatives were defined and a dynamic PDCA created. Since then, DHSEE and other specialists have undertaken 14 weeks of Gemba visits to conduct coaching and audits. Among the topics are: reporting and analysis of accidents; P 10 mandatory rules and 74 criteria deployment; P safety DOJO implementation; P machinery improvements (LOTO, guards, RFID switches, etc .); P fire risk assessment (plastic injection plant); P forklift upgrade and floor marking; P integration of HSE in projects. P Thanks to a new efficient team on site and strong support of Management, the results are visible on the Gemba and safety performances are improving. Fire safety C. DHSEE defined nine (9) specific fire safety mandatory rules, which will be tested in several sites during 2021. The purpose is to build on the back of the success of the 10 Safety Mandatory Rules using identical compliance roadmaps inclusive of ranking according to tried and tested criteria. These in-house rules are a good practice reference point and generate a focus on this key area of risk management. DHSEE is also working in collaboration with the Risk Prevention Division to enhance the Hot Work Permit. The enhanced permit has been tested in the field on several sites, feedback has been taken into consideration and adaptations are being made accordingly. In parallel we are working jointly with the Risk Prevention Division to establish Risk Assessment models as well as reviewing documents and procedures covering all aspects of fire safety. Contractor management D. Renault appointed established safety software solutions experts who cover this essential area of risk management. The aim is to build a single unified Contractor Safety Management platform which will enable us to manage the entire contractor safety lifecycle which covers five key elements. Streamline and standardize the pre-qualification processes to 1. ensure contractors are properly vetted for EHS risks. Ensure contractors have been properly trained, competent and 2. onboarded before they arrive on site. Conduct pre-job Task and Risk Assessments and establish 3. task-hazard controls to minimize and mitigate risks. Monitor and supervise work, flag EHS issues that need to be 4. corrected, and evaluate contractors, EHS performance to identify high-risk contractors when future contract work is needed. Establish a complete overview of all ongoing works by means of a 5. site map, allowing a better view of co-activities. The contractor management platform is in the first phase of testing in several sites. Machinery and Equipment E. All Manufacturing sites have recorded interventions by providing videos demonstrating how Lock Out Tag Out procedures are performed. The sharing of visual evidence has enabled coaching and feedback to the sites for best practice for ensuring how the safe isolation of machinery is achieved. Considering machinery safety, tools and procedures have been developed to mitigate machinery related risks which, just to mention a few, essential safety requirements for suppliers, inspection check-sheets and risk assessment. The procedure for approval new installations is an evolution of the CCS ( Constat Conformité Sécurité ) document, which has been updated to current European and international standards and directives. Included in this update is the aspects relevant to machinery safety, rules number 2 and 3 of the 10 Mandatory Rules for site safety. During this year’s activities, safety inspections for machinery in serial life has also been considered with the development of an inspection tool that can be applied to all types of machinery to identify potential safety hazards. This allows the relevant teams to pro-actively identify hazards and discuss suitable control measures to be put into place. To enable an open discussion platform, the Machinery Safety Club was created in 2020. The new installation process tool and the safety inspection procedure has been communicated through this club which, to date has seen over 90 people attend. Training on these new tools has been provided to over 170 people. Electric and hybrid vehicles F. Electric and hybrid vehicles are one of the major projects for the company. Safety is integrated upstream in the design of the product. Standard solutions are implemented in all electric and hybrid vehicles (ex: BJA – Hybrid CLIO in 2019, BCB in 2020). In order to eliminate or reduce access to hazardous energies: there is a lockout and tagout procedure for each EV in order to P isolate and lock out energies before intervention on electric components; the design of the high voltage batteries strongly reduces access to P live parts during assembly operations, as well as during repair and maintenance activities inside batteries. Safety is integrated in the process engineering in all assembly activities and in vehicle repair activities.
