Occupational Health

Largely due to a well-regulated Occupational Health Policy supported by high quality external operating staff, we once again recorded no occupational illnesses in our business divisions in 2010.
In line with the most recent international trends regarding human resource management, our occupational health processes are based on a detailed Workplace Risk Assessment. In 2010, in addition to all health and safety workplace-related risks, we succeeded in fully assessing the psycho-social and ergonomic risks to our employees. The subsequent data served as a basis to manage these risks. Moreover, a specific instrumental measurement methodology was introduced to assess the psycho-social risks of the most vulnerable target group, the shift employees.
We are strongly committed to protect our employees. Staff are regularly monitored through biological monitoring to minimise occupational exposure to less than 50% of the legally required limit.

Workplace Health Promotion (STEP)

The key objective of the current phase of our workplace health promotion programme (STEP – Take a Step for your Health) is to create an adequate company health culture and to invest in the development of health-promoting employee behaviour. The main programme elements are Extra Screening, STEP Active, Effective Health Communication and the Stop Smoking Campaign. The recent inclusion of IES (IT) and MOL Romania brought the total of participating MOL Group member companies to 14 in seven countries. STEP now covers 45 percent of the total workforce (excluding INA).

New programs were started in several locations in 2010, including:

• An office package including office gymnastics and mobile massage. Office employees participated 688 times in gymnastics and took advantage of the  mobile massage 1,856 times;
• A total of 28 teams and more than 185 employees participated in the “together-easier” competition at MOL Hungary. The drive was aimed to motivate colleagues to lose weight and improve their fitness level;
• Many improvements were also realised in the organisation of STEP screenings and STEP communication.

Almost 6600 employees took part in different STEP programmes – 3653 in different sport activities in 2010, including 2254 new participants. The cumulative participation rate of 81% exceeded our 75% target for 2010.
The health-related absence rate was only 1.80% (related to total scheduled working hours at MOL, Slovnaft, TVK and SPC); an outstanding result even at the EU level.
