Healthy, safe and secure work environment

4.3 Healthy, safe and secure work environment

LCPL will endeavor to provide safe, secure and healthy working conditions in order to prevent harm to and promote the health of all employees and other stakeholders. In order to do so, Health, Safety and Environment (‘HSE’) programs, rules and regulations apply at all sites. It is the responsibility of each employee to comply with HSE regulations. LCPL will do what is in its power to prevent any injuries at work, both for its employees and contractors. Beyond this, the company seeks to adapt work to the capabilities of all employees in relation to their physical and mental health. Care and support should be integral to the response to employees with chronic disability or chronic illness. All employees should have access to affordable health services. In areas with a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, access to locally available voluntary and anonymous counseling and testing should be encouraged and supported.

4.3.1 Disclosure of medical information

There is no justification for asking job applicants or employees to disclose personal medical information (e.g. pre-employment HIV testing) beyond the medical data required to ensure suitability for the job. Job applicants may be asked to disclose medical information as per company policy. All personal medical information is treated as confidential.
