COVID-19: Best practices from Onet Technologies teams

Despite the constraints caused by the confinement, Onet Technologies remains mobilized to continue its activities and thus meet our country's electricity needs. The Energy sector has been clearly identified as essential by the government, and the Minister has personally written to the COPSAR companies of which we are a member.

Respecting the sanitary rules put in place by EDF at its power plants, Onet Technologies' teams have supplemented these measures to further curb the spread of the virus, facilitate barrier measures and maintain social links with their colleagues.

Range of solutions implemented at plants: displays, PPE, cleaning and social distancing...

Sanitary instructions must be posted and respected at all our sites. Sanitary kits have been made available to Onet Technologies teams: they now have masks, hydro-alcoholic gels, soaps, gloves and wipes.

Regular cleaning of equipment, door handles and meeting areas is carried out several times a day on a voluntary basis.

Our teams have also installed floor markings to respect social distancing, as well as limiting the number of people allowed in certain rooms.

At the Bugey power plant, for example, management now conducts its daily briefings and debriefings outside the building. Circulation rules have also been drawn up to avoid contact in the plant's sometimes cramped spaces: one-way traffic or, in the event of unavoidable crossings, staff are asked to stand back to back.

Hygienaphones have also been installed at certain exposed workstations (e.g. in stores, here at the Flamanville power plant).

Onet Technologies' expertise in controlled zone applications

In response to a request from EDF, Onet Technologies is responsible for disinfecting all C2 detection portals in controlled areas on a 3×8 basis, 7 days a week, with a visit every 4 hours, by a team of specially trained agents at sites such as Saint-Laurent and Nogent-sur-Seine.

At Nogent-sur-Seine, in response to a customer request, Onet Technologies set up "Preventers" in the locker rooms for access to the Controlled Zone for the shutdown unit. These dedicated agents have several roles: they manage access to the changing rooms in accordance with a list provided by EDF, they allocate one locker out of three to ensure that safety distances are respected, and they are responsible for enforcing compliance with barrier gestures such as hand washing on entering and leaving the changing rooms.

Maintaining social ties

To maintain the social link with all our teams, whether on site or remotely, managers put in place a number of different systems:

• Daily physical and telephone exchanges with employees to ensure that instructions are shared and respected, to check on everyone's health, to share experiences of the situation and to provide support to those who need it.
• At Golfech, management has created a "Journal de Bord" (logbook) distributed by email once or twice a week to site teams. It contains health and management instructions on work organization, as well as information from customer EDF on the continuation of activities.

These few examples of good practice bear witness to the general mobilization, solidarity and benevolence that all Onet Technologies employees demonstrate on a daily basis.

Actions and a state of mind that reflect the values of our company and help to tackle the COVID-19 crisis.
