Orano - Annual Activity Report 2024 197 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT 4 Social and societal information employees at Orano sites abroad receive the locally-mandated vaccinations and are also offered additional vaccinations in line with the specific risks due to the location of the site or seasonal epidemics (vaccines against rabies, tick-borne encephalitis, etc.). Orano Mining launched a mapping exercise to identify the practices, training and awareness-raising initiatives implemented in terms of mental health at its main sites around the world. This inventory will make it possible to identify Orano Mining’s best practices and, if necessary, take action to preserve the health of employees at each site. Expertise at the service of medical surveillance 2024 continued the implementation of the Orano group SPST, with the continued internalization of employees in the group’s occupational health and safety service in France. This Orano medical surveillance enables the detection and prevention of occupational diseases. It delivers prevention information to individual employees. It is also at the origin of the traceability of occupational exposures throughout the professional career. It is supported by a very extensive technical platform of complementary biological and radiotoxicological examinations. GATOME (toxicological and metrological technical support group) is a multidisciplinary team (consisting of the Group Radiation Protection Safety Manager, an occupational physician, an occupational health nurse), helping to assess chemical exposures. At the request of entities, professionals advise the entity from a toxicological point of view, on the measurement campaigns to be carried out in the field and the sampling strategies. The objective is to trace toxicological exposures and to adapt collective and individual protection equipment. The samples are analyzed by a COFRAC laboratory. Then, a collective intervention report is drafted and presented to the entity. In 2024, GATOME conducted three appraisal assignments within the group. In 2023, Orano launched an internal health careers school. Every year, it organizes a welcome for new members of the occupational health service and a sharing of medical practices between peers. Topics covered included: chemical risks and asbestos, hearing about life situations (domestic violence, cancer, etc.), and the role of the media. An ambitious prevention plan in France This assessment is one of the main levers for progress in the group’s occupational risk prevention approach. Transcribed in the Risk Assessment Document (DUER), it includes actions to identify and classify risks as well as the implementation of prevention actions. In 2024, Orano entities continued to apply the methodology for assessing organization-related risks in the DUER, with the aim of standardizing practices and reinforcing consistency. The la Hague Health and Occupational Prevention Service (SPST), in conjunction with the ergonomist, has acquired a tool for assessing postural constraints as part of the prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders. This approach is expected to be developed at other sites. Ergonomics leadership has been set up at the national level to promote the sharing and homogeneity of practices. On the same theme of the prevention of MSDs, the SPST Ilede-France has designed a campaign to raise awareness about stretching at work: “Active Prevention”. All the sites in the Paris region were made aware, and during the Safety Days, the la Hague and Tricastin platforms also joined as well. 2024 IN ACTION: Continuation of the “Santé Attitude” prevention program The Health-Safety-Radiation Protection Department (DSSRP) coordinates a multi-year prevention program “Santé Attitude” in its French sites. Actions were renewed on cancer prevention, aimed at contributing to early detection and providing information on risk factors. The DSSRP supported by the Occupational Health and Prevention Services (SPST), is at the service of employees by offering various workshops in the form of conferences or screenings deployed at all Orano sites. The following topics were addressed in 2024: prevention of skin cancer, breast cancer, and male cancers and prevention of diabetes and cardiovascular risks. These workshops give employees access to a healthcare professional (dermatologist, gynecologist, dietitian, etc.) and to training in simple selfexamination procedures. For example, they were able to consult a dermatologist for a melanoma screening and were made aware of the importance of simple, regular self-examination. For a certain number of employees, these consultations made it possible to detect the suspicion or the proven presence of melanoma, to initiate a follow-up with a dermatologist and/or to raise awareness about the risk of skin cancer. The SPST has also set up topical officers (dietetics, tobacco, etc.). In 2024, the group set up midwifery consultations at the Tricastin site to overcome a medical desert. The la Hague site provides employees, as a pilot initiative, with a service with the medical concierge providing access to a secure digital platform dedicated to teleconsultations by general practitioners or specialists. 2024 IN ACTION: Initiatives to promote physical activity In 2024, a multidisciplinary working group of the SPST carried out a campaign to promote physical activity, relayed to all sites, with posters and flyers giving recommendations on best practice physical activity at work. In addition, under the impetus of the local medical service, the Tricastin site is opening a new space to move and stay in shape, and is focusing on well-being, sport and health.
