U. S. STEEL SERBIA, D.O.O.: WITHOUT A SINGLE DAY OF SICK-LEAVE, BASED ON INJURIES AT WORK, IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS

SAFETY FIRST




Smederevo, November 1, 2006
''There is a praiseworthy result achieved in U. S. Steel Serbia, d.o.o. in Smederevo in the area of Safety and Industrial Hygiene, to which, besides the Employer, contributed to a great extent the representative unions by direct involvement and engagement and through operations of the Safety Committee. Namely, in September and October, 2006, for the first time since U.S. Steel Serbia, d.o.o. started operations, ''ZERO'' lost working days (sick-leaves) was recorded, based on injuries at work'', says Mileta Gujanicic, President of ''Nezavisnost'' Union in USSS.
These results were not scored accidentally. First of all, U.S. Steel Serbia, in cooperation with representative unions, made a great effort to reduce the number of injuries and reach the goal: ''ZERO INJURIES''. These activities are reflected primarily in forming and operations of the Safety Committee, employee education, promotion and popularizing safety and industrial hygiene as a priority objective and duty of everyone – employer, union and employees. As an example, in the area of education, 1.641 employees, including 171 employees as contractors, will attend the training sessions related to performing work in gas hazard areas, in 2006.
The safety and industrial hygiene was popularized for the first time this year in such a way that each employee of U. S. Steel Serbia, d.o.o. received an umbrella as a gift, with the inscription ''USS – Safety First'', as a symbol of safety, during European Week of Safety and Industrial Hygiene. Also, an open contest was announced with prize awarding for the drawings of the children of company' s employees with topics from occupational safety, and after selection of works, the best drawings will be put in the USS Safety Calendar for 2007'', said Mileta Gujanicic, President of ''Nezavisnost'' Union – USS.
