In Finland, much emphasis has been placed
on early rehabilitation, to ensure that employees showing signs
of diminished working ability have the opportunity to attend a week-long
early rehabilitation course when needed. The course prioritises
proactive measures to maintain and improve mental and physical working
capacity, with tailor-made support and follow-up provided by Stora
Enso's occupational health care professionals.
A new programme has also been launched in Finland focusing on increasing
safety awareness among contractors and suppliers. When the system
is fully applied, everyone employed by a contractor or supplier
will have to attend safety and security training, followed by an
examination, before receiving a safety pass to work at a Stora Enso
site. A similar process is ongoing in Stora Enso units in North
America.
Much emphasis has been put on accident prevention, and many units
have been successful in this area. For example no accidents resulting
in lost work days had taken place at the Langerbrugge Mill for a
period of 18 months by the end of 2002.
