The Fors experience

Safety, Health and Security Management Systems
The Stora Enso Safety, Health and Security Management System has been designed as a practical tool for continuous improvement in these areas in all parts of the Group. The system is compatible with Stora Enso Excellence 2005 principles, international quality standards concerning safety, health, and security (e.g. OHSAS 18001, BS 8800, SCC), and ILO guidelines.

Many Stora Enso mills have had their safety, health, and security management systems certified by an accredited certification body, and corporate management strongly supports this process.

For instance, the following units have had their systems certified: Berghuizer Mill (OHSAS 18001), Anjalankoski, Kotka and Summa Mills (BS 8800), and Baienfurt Mill (SCC). Stora Enso's occupational health services in Finland also have ISO 9001 certification, the first of its kind.

Setting objectives and targets
To implement OH & S policies and meet management and employee expectations, Stora Enso's divisions have set their own division-specific OH & S objectives. Individual mills and business units have launched unit-specific OH & S programmes and initiatives, and established occupational safety targets.

The Fors experience
Several programmes focusing on employee well-being and OH & S were implemented in 2002. The issues of absenteeism and long-term health were addressed at Swedish units, based on the pioneering work done at the Fors Mill.

An employee is determined as coming into the category of long-term healthy employees if he or she has not been away from work because of ill health for two years. In December 2002, the Fors Mill was nominated as the Most Healthy Company in 2002 in Sweden by Korpen Sporthuset AB and Dagens Industri in a competition with 29 other companies.

The Fors Mill was the winner both in the category of companies with more than 300 employees and in the whole competition. A project covering long-term healthy employees and involving all Stora Enso's Swedish units has been launched, and the target is that 40% of employees come into this category.
