At Clarke Energy France security is a serious business but for the safety day we decided not to take ourselves too seriously with a number of fun activities.
The QHSE Unit has therefore organized activities:
- Fire truck for handling fire extinguishers
- Risk hunting workshop
- Board game KESKI RISK
- Online safety quiz
The main purpose of this day was to:
Present SECURITY differently and in a playful way,
Take the time to exchange views
Discuss safety topics that concern our employees on a daily basis
All in order to improve safety conditions at work and thus achieve zero accidents.
Clarke Energy’s operations in India celebrated Kohler Safety Day with all employees acknowledging that our safety is in our own hands, and we must do everything we can to stay safe.
