AIRBUS - 2019 Registration Document

Information on the Company’s Activities  / 1.1 Presentation of the Company

Airbus is structuring its corporate health and safety management framework based on the principles of the newly introduced international standard – ISO 45001. The new Policy is one of the foundation documents which has evolved in this regard. The FISH management platform and the harmonisation of the company-wide health and safety function are two of the pillars supporting the health and safety management framework for health and safety at work. Airbus will progressively certify some entities under ISO 45001. Tools The company-wide management framework health and safety at work is supported by FISH – the global health and safety software platform. The deployment of this platform started in 2018 and will enhance Airbus’ incident, risk health and safety capability. This will enable improved aggregation and analysis of health and safety data to form a risk topography that focuses resources to best effect. Such module will support measurement and evaluation of work-related incidents ( e.g. : near misses) which will improve accident avoidance. The incident management module of this platform has been deployed in France for Airbus commercial aircraft activities and Airbus Helicopters, in Spain for Airbus and its Divisions and in UK for Airbus’ commercial aircraft activities and Airbus Defence and Space. It is expected that the full deployment of this module in the FISH tool will be completed in 2019. Thus Airbus will progressively improve its ability to collect, analyse and report on work related health and safety information, continuously improving the identification and mitigation of risk. Commencing the deployment of the incident management module and the overall harmonisation process have allowed improvement in the production and collection of overall company-wide KPIs which are detailed below. Airbus has held an innovation workshop to focus on future technologies to support and reinforce safety and ill-health risk- prevention by using new technologies, such as exoskeleton, ergonomic analysis and virtual reality training. Risks and Management Performance The company identifies work-related hazards and seeks to eliminate, substitute, isolate or otherwise manage them to support legal and regulatory compliance. It is intended that company processes further be improved through the company software platform, FISH. Risks that could arise from work activities include the possibility of injury, physical and mental ill-health, damage to equipment, business interruption and regulatory action. Any reputational risk and claims against Airbus that may result will also need to be managed. In 2018, main causes of injury remain slip, trip and fall events and ergonomic/manual handling. Work at height and chemicals present additional concerns. Collection of health and safety data is being harmonised company-wide using common indicators such as Frequency Rate. The reporting scope of such harmonised health and safety data (reflected in the table below) covers Airbus and its Divisions for the four home countries and the Mobile USA and Tianjin China plants, covering around 92% of the Airbus Active Workforce, and will be progressively extended. Analyses of such reporting data will continue and evolve in light of the level of maturity of data collection.

During 2018, Airbus started to identify potential KPIs related to human rights which could be used to measure progress. The Company is currently evaluating the availability of data in order to start report using these KPIs. c. Health and Safety The health and safety of our employees is a top priority of the Company. It is the Company’s policy to continuously reinforce health and safety related to Airbus work activities as part of the business culture and to deliver responsible health and safety management that sustainably reduces risk to people, the environment and the business. Governance of Health and Safety at Airbus A new company-wide Occupational Health and Safety Policy has been issued in 2018 as the foundation of the Company’s system for management of health and safety at work. The new Policy reflects the changes in company structure and evolving - - responsible management of health and safety, taking all feasible steps to protect people and the business from the health and safety risks that could arise from its work activities, - - all employees accepting appropriate responsibility for themselves and others, - - a health and safety management system that drives continuous improvement and compliance, - - a preventative approach based on analysis of leading and lagging indicators and other occupational health and safety data; - - reiteration of the health and safety mission and vision: - - our mission is to deliver a culture and management systems that promote health and safety at work, related compliance, and the sustained reduction of health and safety risk related to Airbus work activities, - - our vision is that Airbus has world class health and safety risk management and is known as a company where safety, health and welfare are valued as an integral part of our success. Airbus aspires to zero work related injuries and ill-health; - - focus on key initiatives: - - a health and safety management system based on the principles of the ISO Standard 45001, - - the implementation of a company-wide health and safety software platform (Federated Information on Safety and Health called FISH), - - the reinforcement of a company-wide health and safety function by the harmonisation of health and safety philosophy and methodology. To achieve the objectives of this Policy, Airbus is consolidating health and safety resources into a single organisation to deliver company-wide harmonisation and gain improvements in risk control and efficiency benefits. In this respect, Airbus has defined Transversal Expert Groups (TEG), for Industrial Hygiene, Health and Wellbeing, and Safety Management. These TEG span Airbus, its Divisions and countries, providing advice and helping to improve management of risk control work. external and internal requirements. The purpose of this new policy is to: - - reinforce the following principles:
