INVOLVING
Collective safety-themed events are organized each year. The objectives of these different events are straightforward: to encourage collective involvement and to create opportunities for discussing safety on a large scale.
5S Day
The 5S method serves to constantly optimize working conditions and working time by ensuring that work spaces are organized, clean and safe.
The 5s method is Japanese. It is a management technique that is part of the quality and safety approach: Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke in Japanese, translated into English by Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain.
A typical 5S day at V2V:
-
8 a.m. Welcome coffee

Agency meetings
Twice a year, the entire senior management team does the rounds of all agencies to attend a meeting gathering all the teams.
Much more than a time for discussions dedicated to the progress of current projects and to the group's future ambitions, it's a key moment where safety is given pride of place in different workshops.
Eco-driving challenges
How does an eco-driving challenge work?
A software program developed by V2V is used to geolocate the vehicles of V2V employees and to monitor their performance (driving too fast, sudden braking, etc.). V2V employees are divided into teams and are evaluated throughout the challenge (lasting approx. two month) based on two criteria:
-
Their fuel consumption
-
Safety (based on their performance at the wheel: quick accelerations, heavy braking, and so on).
The Facility services team has access to results in real time and shares them with the teams throughout the challenge so that they can improve their scores. Technicians also have an app on their cell phone that offers them driving advice on a daily basis.
​
The objective: step up employees' vigilance with regard to driving and guarantee their safety (and that of others).
The winners of the challenge receive gifts.
