Health and safety
Healthy and efficient employees are the basis for success for every company. RBI offers provision and support in
the form of a range of initiatives and facilities. In addition to the legally prescribed measures in the area of health
care, we offer numerous additional programs. The statutory standards for occupational health and safety are
complied with in all countries, and the corresponding committees and officers set up and appointed.
In 2018, the absenteeism rate for RBI was three percent (four percent in 2017 and 2016). There was one death.
The injury rate according to ILO was 0.16 (0.25 in 2017 and 0.24 in 2016).
The following chart provides an overview of the measures that are being implemented at the individual companies
in the area of health and welfare.
Please see the list of abbreviations for the complete company designations.
Health initiatives at the Vienna sites
A large number of offers and preventative measures aimed at promoting good health have been put in place for
all employees to use.
In 2018, for example, a comprehensive health examination was available free of charge at the RBI head office
sites in Vienna in cooperation with “Health+Life Gesundheitsmanagement GmbH”. Around 1,000 employees
took advantage of this offer. Participation in optional supplemental modules (e.g. heart ultrasound, artery or vein
checks, spinal or thyroid gland screening, arterial disease prevention) was again financially supported.
Employees could also make use of other medical services during working hours, such as having themselves
inoculated with the tick-borne encephalitis (FSME) vaccine or the flu vaccine. These health services are rendered
by a team of occupational physicians who take care of overall medical support at work. This also includes regular
inspections of the workplace with ergonomic advice and even individual workplace configuration.
Employees also can take advantage of massages, osteopathy, physiotherapy, hypnotherapy, craniosacral therapy,
shiatsu and nutritional advice in the appropriately adapted company premises on their own time and at their own
expense. An internal forum for the exchange of information on various illnesses and disorders relating to the thyroid
gland was created for the first time.
