In the area of safety, preventive measures are of key importance, as they contribute to risk mitigation. These include instructions and the principles of performance and supervision of works, training and instruction for the employees, suggestions systems, and actions aimed at hazards identification and risk assessment. Safety is also monitored in the form of audits.
The safety management systems at the Capital Group companies comply with the regulations binding in the respective country. Teams are appointed to analyse the situation and incidents on a current basis and to identify OHS hazards. Team managers are responsible for the organisation of workplaces in accordance with the regulations, considering protection of employees against accidents at work or occupational diseases, and enforcement of OHS principles abiding by the employees. Efficient management of the area is possible thanks to procedures defining the paths of conduct in the particular situations, as well as assigning accountability.
As regards safety procedures, in 2022 there were continued actions to limit the pandemic hazards, which included:

workplace may face in a particular job or in a given area of the Company; - identify the sources of hazards and possible effects of such hazards;
- estimate occupational risk;
- suggest preventative measures aimed at reducing or eradicating occupational risks.
As a result of such measures, the occupational risk for a given job is assessed. All employees of the Capital Group companies are subject to the activities of teams responsible for safety at work.
