Health promotion activities

Every year we organize health promotion activities, to enhance the knowledge of our employees on health-related issues.

In 2019, we carried out the “Passport for Health” campaign at OMV Petrom for the fourth time. This campaign aims to strengthen the culture of health care to encourage employees to participate in voluntary health programs and to start living a healthy lifestyle. The 2019 campaign covered topics relating to resilience, physical activity, and a healthy diet, with 3,353 participants taking part in these activities.

We also organized a special event at OMV Petrom called “Win Health: ON!”. This was a competition where five teams across the country competed in their knowledge of health in a series of theoretical challenges.

Another example of employee interaction with the Health Management System is the Health Circle organized in Gänserndorf, Austria. Twice a year employees gather to address work-related health issues and create customized solutions in collaboration with the local health team. In 2019, the topics included action needed to improve preventive care, collaboration on HSSE Days, training and refresher courses on resuscitation and defibrillator use, vaccination initiatives, preventive care, and other health-related concerns.

To mitigate occupational health risks, our medical staff carries out specific preventive examinations in accordance with the legal regulations of the countries in which we operate. These exams include blood tests for employees working with specific hazardous substances and hearing tests for employees exposed to noise.

We offer general health screenings for our employees. In addition, we run seasonal campaigns to provide free vaccinations against flu and tick-borne encephalitis in affected areas. In 2019, 32,380 voluntary health screenings, 5,339 vaccinations, 111,457 medical consultations, and 146,700 occupational health examinations were performed and/or organized by OMV medical staff.
