As part of changing the approaches to repair work planning, the practice of ranking them into three risk categories based on company historical data and industry experience was introduced. This allowed for changes to control processes and a priority focus on the preparation and execution of the most high-risk types of work. As a result, occupational health and safety services and industrial safety services are informed of all planned work, and preventive inspections are conducted taking into account defined priorities.
Safe Movement or #SafeStep
