Occupational Health and Safety
103 Management Approach Employment Practices
SUSTAINABILITY 403-1 Occupational health and At Celestica, our Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management system has been implemented in accordance with local
AT CELESTICA safety management system legal requirements and is aligned with internationally recognized standards e.g. ISO 45001/OHSAS 18001. Our top level Global
Health and Safety Policy demonstrates our commitment to OH&S and our alignment to internationally recognized standards and
codes. The OH&S management system is structured on prevention of worker injury and illness, with a focus on proactive hazard
ENVIRONMENTAL recognition. Celestica utilizes both on-site EHS representatives, third-party consulting firms, and partners with global registrars
and regulators to ensure our activities are both safe and healthy, with a focus on employee wellbeing. Ongoing improvements to
our management system are based on a Plan-Do-Check-Act model and the iterative activities of management reviews, auditing,
SOCIAL and EHS focused Kaizen activities. The OH&S management system, as described by our top level policy, includes all employees,
contractors, and persons undertaking business at our locations.
403-2 Hazard identification, risk assessment, Work-related hazard assessments are conducted to assess risks and ensure mitigating controls are adequate. Hazard assessments
GOVERNANCE and incident investigation are an iterative process and are re-evaluated when incidents occur or new processes, chemicals or, equipment are introduced or
modified. The Global Risk and Hazard assessment process is aligned with industry practices and focuses on the reduction of risk
based on the hazard hierarchy. This is well aligned with RBA requirements and ISO 45001 Standard.
REPORT INDICES I - Risk assessments are conducted by site EHS personnel, who are trained in occupational safety and occur in partnership with
engineering teams and employees who are responsible for executing the tasks.
KPI Summary II - Results of risk assessments are used to continually improve safety as the objective is to bring the risk to a tolerable level. Note,
in our operations, although hazards are effectively mitigated through elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative controls,
GRI Index
training, standard operating procedures, etc., the least effective means of worker protection, personal protective equipment, is still
SASB Disclosure widely utilized. Risk assessments are shared through the network as required, revisited when incidents occur, and reviewed when
changes occur to ensure no new hazards have been introduced, including during the corrective action process.
TCFD Disclosure
Workers are able to report work-related hazards–whether unsafe conditions or acts–at any time through their manager, supervisor,
EHS representative, safety committee, site leader, Global EHS or through the confidential ethics reporting hotline. Other tools
include suggestion boxes and near miss reporting programs.
Workers who have safety concerns are encouraged to report to the persons listed above to seek immediate action. Employees are
empowered to ensure they flag any unsafe conditions or acts that represent a risk to themselves or others. Celestica’s BCG provides
assurance there is no retaliation for the good faith reporting of hazards and risks, and employees are trained on BCG annually.
Workplace incidents are investigated and documented. Corrective actions for incidents are to focus on the hazard hierarchy with
a preference and focus on elimination, substitution and engineering controls. The Global Incident/Corrective Action Process is
aligned with 8D whereby the following are assessed: define the problem; establish a team; describe the problem; develop interim
containment; define and verify root cause; choose permanent corrective action; implement corrective action; prevent recurrence.
For incidents that involve days away cases, or other incidents of serious concern, there are global safety alerts sent out to all sites
such that incident sharing and response are reviewed and sites then review their own operations for possible similar hazards or
risks. If there is a need to engage with third-party expertise e.g. electrical, structural, equipment safety consultants, we do so.
