OHSAS 18001 management system, and which is currently applied at all company levels.
In Creomoda Sarl health and safety aspects
were monitored and checked through social accountability certification: SA8000:2014.
Creomoda is also committed to complying with all the prevailing national regulations on the matter, and to adopting the SAAS recommendations relating to fire prevention and risk reduction measures. Since 2015 the company has also had
a Committee for health and safety at work and since 2016 a manager responsible for health and safety at work. The Committee is invited to meet every two months to examine any developments in the matter, and once a year to discuss
matters directly related to the standard of social accountability. The committee generally consists of one representative from the management, one occupational doctor and two representatives from
the workers. In 2017 a regulatory compliance audit was conducted on Ratti SpA, Creomoda Sarl
and Textrom Srl, in accordance with Italian legislation. The aim of this was to report on, in particular, compliance with Legislative Decree 81/08 (“testo unico” (law) on health and safety at work) and the documentation laid down by law,
the application of legal requirements governing the management and planning of actions
aimed at achieving regulatory compliance,
both in terms of documentation and in terms of application in practice.
The Creomoda Sarl site complies with Tunisian regulations and with the standard SA8000:2014, and does not carry out any high-risk activities.
In Textrom the prevailing national regulations are applied and in October 2018 the Policy for social accountability was extended to include health and safety aspects. The policy came into force in the early months of 2019.
Table 9 below shows the rate of absenteeism by cause of absence, while Table 10 shows the total number of accidents, specifying the relative days absent, the accident frequency index (AFI) and the accident severity index (ASI). In 2018 the Ratti Group recorded four accidents, of which one was during travel and the remaining three were at work (two during fabric printing and one at the workplace, but not during production activities). This represented a decrease of 50% on 2017. However, no accidents were recorded at the Romania, USA or China premises.
Overall, in 2018 the Group recorded a rate of absenteeism for employees of 3.30%, in line with the figure for 2017 (3.29%). Most of this was due to illness-related absence; in 2018 there were no recorded strikes.
The Ratti Group also pays attention to the health and safety of personnel who carry out ongoing working activities on the premises, whether or not they are employees. This regards workers who offer services such as cleaning, guarding the factories, plumbing, electrical and mechanical maintenance, company catering and gardening. These services are contracted out by Ratti to external suppliers. At 31 December 2018 there were a total of 29 people from external suppliers working at the premises of Ratti SpA on an ongoing basis, and eight who were working at Creomoda Sarl.
In 2018 no accidents were recorded for these types of workers, either in Ratti SpA or in Creomoda
Sarl. In Textrtom, Ratti USA and Ratti International Trading there are no external workers who carry out such activities on an ongoing basis.
