4 _259 2023 UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT_MICHELIN 4 NON-FINANCIAL STATEMENT Sustainable Development Report 4.1.3 Employee and contractor health, safety and security Risks related to the health and safety of employees and contractors Michelin directly employs more than 132,400 people worldwide and also uses temporary employment agencies and subcontractors. These people work in a very wide variety of environments, both in industrial facilities – where they use machines and equipment ranging from manual to automated, depending on the type of product manufactured and the model of the machines – and in logistics and services operations and dealerships. Given the nature of our business, Group employees and temporary agency workers face a very diverse array of risks and obligations, depending on whether they work in a production plant or an office, on the road or behind a desk. For example, shopfloor employees are exposed to risks related to: ● site equipment and organization (mechanical and electrical risks, installation ergonomics risks); ● the general working environment (heat, working at heights, psychosocial risks, and exposure to country-specific risks such as political instability, terrorism or kidnappings); ● exposure to chemicals; ● industrial accidents and natural disasters; ● handling tires. Office-based, itinerant and sales personnel are exposed to: ● business travel risks (accidents and health risks); ● psychosocial risks. These risks can affect the health, well-being and sometimes the physical integrity of Michelin employees and other people who work in Group facilities. They are addressed by applying dedicated preventive and mitigation measures.
