Pavana GmbH is a company providing highly specialised services in the renewable energy sector, with a focus on the planning, development and implementation of wind energy projects. The protection of the safety and health of our employees, as well as all persons working on our behalf, is a key component of our corporate responsibility and our sustainable business practices. The activities of Pavana GmbH, particularly wind measurement campaigns, work involving meteorological masts and verification activities, are associated with specific work-related risks. Our objective is to systematically identify, assess and minimise these risks through appropriate measures in order to ensure safe and healthy working conditions.

The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management System of Pavana GmbH is aligned with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 45001. The principles and commitments contained therein provide the framework for our OHS management system and are consistent with our corporate strategy and long-term objectives. To establish and maintain an effective and robust OHS management system, we are guided by the following principles:

• We promote a culture of safety awareness. Occupational health and safety extends beyond compliance with rules and procedures. We promote a corporate culture in which safety-conscious behaviour, mutual awareness and proactive action for accident prevention are embraced and practised by all employees.
• Integration of health and safety aspects into all business processes. At Pavana GmbH, occupational health and safety is not viewed in isolation but is an integral part of all business processes. This includes, in particular, project planning, the selection of service providers and suppliers, the procurement of work equipment, and the execution, monitoring and maintenance of work activities.
• Employee participation and engagement. Effective occupational health and safety requires the active involvement of all employees. Through regular training, instruction and information measures, Pavana GmbH ensures that the necessary competencies are developed and maintained. Employees are consulted and actively involved in the development, improvement and implementation of OHS measures.
• Continuous improvement of the OHS management system. We pursue a preventive approach to occupational health and safety. Accidents, near misses and unsafe situations are systematically analysed in order to identify causes, learn from experience and derive appropriate measures to prevent future occurrences.

Through this OHS Policy, the Management Board, managers and all employees of Pavana GmbH commit themselves to deriving specific OHS objectives and OHS performance indicators and to complying with all applicable legal requirements and other obligations binding on the company. Management ensures that the OHS management system achieves its intended outcomes. Non-conformities and weaknesses are systematically investigated, appropriate corrective actions are implemented, and continual improvement of the management system is ensured.

Furthermore, management is committed to consistently eliminating or minimising hazards and to reducing work-related risks in a targeted manner. The measures required for this purpose are planned, integrated into the OHS management system, implemented and regularly reviewed for their effectiveness.
