The pre-medical rescue programme is a long-term, bottom-up initiative of Enea’s employees. Well-trained employees are in a position to help the victim as quickly and as effectively as possible, which is particularly important in our industry.

In 2017 Enea Centrum conducted the 7th Rescue Manoeuvres. They are a three-day cycle of training for both pre-medical rescuers and people just starting to gain their experience in rescue. The main theme of this year’s Rescue Manoeuvres was to rescue the victims of the collapse of buildings.

Our employees agree that the subject of rescue is important and that it is worth sharing their knowledge with others, which is why they decided to include pre-medical rescue in the Enea Employee Volunteer Work Programme.

⁴⁾ Enea Centrum calculated the frequency index according to the formula Ifreq. = Number of victims of accidents at work recorded over the period / number of employees x 1000

⁵⁾ Enea Centrum calculated the severity index according to the formula Ws = Number of days of sick leave due to accidents at work / number of accidents

⁶⁾ Enea Wytwarzanie calculated the accident frequency index according to the formula: Number of accidents at work x 1000 / average employment in the company

⁷⁾ Enea Wytwarzanie calculated the severity index according to the formula: Number of days off due to an accident at work / total number of accidents (less fatal accidents)

Frequency index = number of accidents at work x 1 000 000/total risk hours worked (number of risk hours: number of hours including overtime/Employees with fixed and indefinite contracts)

Severity index = number of days of sick leave due to accidents x 1 000/total risk hours worked
