Health Protection and Promotion

In 2009 we continued implementing our programs in the frame of the Occupational Health Management System. The main steps are:

• A new pre-employment psychological examination process was initiated in order to increase safety at work
• A new method was introduced in order to increase the quality of the Biological Monitoring of employees. The method includes training material for employees as well
• Within our Comprehensive Risk Assessment project (“COMPASS”) a new workplace risk assessment tool covering all safety and occupational risks was implemented at group level.
• A group level pandemic preparedness plan was developed by our experts and more than 30% of our employees were vaccinated against H1N1 and other preventive measures were taken to prevent a potential pandemic infection.
• Several audits of the relevant internal regulation were conducted at the Business Units.

Thanks to a well-regulated occupational health area supported by high quality external service providers and the disciplined work of our operating staff, in 2009 we recorded no occupational illness in our business divisions.

The company workplace health promotion program (“Take a STEP for your health”) was also continued. The program received an overwhelming response, even though participation was fully voluntary.

• In 2008-2009 62% of the MOL Plc., Slovnaft, Petrochemicals, MOL Lubricants, SSC, and Moltrans employees (7,432 employees) participated in at least one STEP program. The program was also extended to three subsidiaries, Intermol Serbia, MOL Slovenia and Tifon Croatia.
• More than 7,500 voluntary medical screenings were performed in this period.
• The absence rate – one of the key indicators of the STEP program - reached in the targeted companies a very low level: 1.98.
• More than 3,000 MOL employees and 2000 family members registered for different company organised events (a summer Party, family days and STEP days).
• Nearly 1,500 employees were involved in regular sport activities, and at least 250 employees and 400 family members participated in different self-financed movement-based activities (training events, outdoor weekends, and healthy walks).
