6 Operation
Operational Planning and control
The overall direction for the Nokia Health & Safety Management System is provided
by Health, Safety and Physical Security. Due to the geographic spread and breadth of
activities required, the Health & Safety Management System is implemented with
matrix responsibility. This ensures that the management of health & safety tasks is
integrated into the relevant organizations and that the provisions of the Health &
Safety Management System are appropriate for the scale of the business hazards and
risks.
Nokia has global Health, Safety and Labour Conditions Policy, standards and guidelines,
which are minimum standards for the whole organization. The relevant organizations
should review these global documents and localize them, as necessary, according to
local legislative, industry and other requirements. If there are stricter and more
detailed requirements in the local legislation, the local legislation must be followed.
Local teams are responsible to create clear rules on how to control visitors in Nokia
premises as well as topics related to control of work areas, equipment a n d
measurement equipment (proper maintenance and calibration if applicable)
Workers should have access to:
• Health Safety and Labour Condition Policy
• The Health & Safety Management System Standard Operating Procedure
• Health and Safety standards
• Location relevant Health & Safety information
• Health & Safety information applicable to their organizations and tasks.
In procurement the same sound health & safety and ethical principles that are followed
within Nokia operations are reflected in business relationships to ensure suppliers,
contractors and other business partners follow the same standards and place equally high
priority on health, safety and labour conditions in their operations.
The Nokia supplier requirements include requirements relating to suppliers' health & safety
management and labor conditions. The implementation of these requirements is done
through contractual agreements, contractor management, monitoring practices such as on-
11 | P a g e
site and self-assessments, training and awareness building.
The control of our projects and suppliers is an integral part of managing the health and safety in
Nokia.
7 Performance evaluation

measurement, analysis and performance evaluation.
12 | P a g e
In addition to the global key performance indicators, the relevant organizations may
monitor additional metrics to help drive health & safety performance such as in
specific industries or for customer specific mandated metrics.
Overall performance in respect of the health & safety key performance indicators is
reviewed and reported to Nokia Leadership. The output of this activity serves to
drive necessary changes in order that continuing health & safety improvement can
be sustained.
The internal audit procedure with defined requiments for internal audits are available through the
Nokia Quality Management One Stop Shop.
Management review
Nokia seeks to continually improve its business processes, this includes a commitment to review
and improve the company health and safety management performance.

circumstances require the need) present a documented report to Nokia leadership and
Business Group leadership reporting on the health & safety performance since the last review
and any additional details of development proposals.
13 | P a g e
• Additionally health & safety performance and targets are reported through the Nokia
Sustainability Report and/or separate presentations to the senior management.
The Management Review report and review shall be conducted with regard to the following:
• Changes in external and internal Issues, including developments in legal and other
requirements and needs and expectations from interested parties
• Changes in health & safety risks and opportunities
• The health & safety performance of the organization to include incidents, non-conformities,
corrective actions, monitoring and measurement and continual improvement

• Changing circumstances, including developments in legal and other requirements related to its
health & safety aspects
• Recommendations for improvement
The outputs from the management reviews shall document any decisions and actions related to
possible changes to health and safety policy, objectives, targets and other elements of the health
and safety management system, consistent with the commitment to continual improvement.
This review shall involve nominated persons of relevant organizations and members
of the Health, Safety and Physical Security and Safety and Security teams. The
results of the review shall be communicated to the heads of relevant organizations.
8 Improvement
Relevant Organizations shall look for opportunities to improve their implementation of the Health
& Safety management system and management of the health and safety hazards, risk and
opportunities including industry specific opportunities.
Nokia considers all incidents relevant taking a total incident reporting approach. This
not only includes accidents which result in a fatality, medical treatment, lost time or
first aid, but also near miss incidents and with a high potential which may have
resulted in a serious outcome.
14 | P a g e
Incidents are to be:
• Reported immediately including near misses
• Documented
• Ensure that fatal, critical and High Potential incidents are fully investigated
• Take immediate steps to control the incident to mitigate against further harm and
Initiate an investigation to establish the cause
• Notify local authorities / other stakeholders if appropriate
• Evaluate with nominated person, relavent workers and interested parties, the need for
corrective action to eliminate root casue in order to prevent reaccurance. Consider the need
for specific training.
• Require preventative measures be implemented to prevent reoccurrence at the site of the
incident or at other similar locations controlled by Nokia
• Communicate to impacted stakeholders the details of the incident and actions taken
• Review effectiveness of corrective action
• Review exisisting Health & Safety risk assessments as appropriate
Country specific legislative requirements may determine the level and depth in which
incidents must be investigated and must be taken into account when planning the
incident investigation.
All identified non-conformities from audits shall be managed in accordance with the Nokia
nonconformity and corrective action processes and tracked and manageed within the JIRA tool.
Analysis of nonconformities raised across all relevant organizations will be carried out on a regular
basis to identify any systemic issues, patterns and opportunities for improvement.
Once any nonconformity is identified, it should be investigated to determine the
cause(s), so that suitable corrective actions can be focused on the appropriate part
of the system. The response and timing of such actions should be appropriate to the
nature and scale of the nonconformity and the health & safety risk. Corrective
actions will assign responsibility, and targeted completion dates.
Continual improvement
Relevant organizations within Nokia shall look for opportunities to improve the suitabiity and
effectiveness of the health and safety management system.
Improvement takes into account the results analysis, evaluation of health and safety
performance, evaluation of compliance, audit results, management review, when actions to
improve are taken with communication of relevant results to workers.
