Fire protection

Slovenské elektrárne recorded one fire in 2014, in the external cable areas at the Bohunice Nuclear Power Plant plant. The probable cause was an overload current in a cable with a 220V DC voltage. Thanks to an anti-fire spray on the cables, the fire did not spread along the cables but extinguished itself. The fire did not cause damage to Slovenské elektrárne assets.

Number of fires

Fire protection technicians carried out 912 preventive fire protection inspections in 2014 during which 601 shortcomings were detected.

During 2014 the state fire inspection carried out three complete fire protection inspections. These identified 18 shortcomings, which were corrected within defined deadlines. Additional inspections carried out in Slovenské elektrárne plants included three specific fire protection inspections and five fire protection inspections related to the correction of shortcomings identified by previous fire protection inspections.

Security

Slovenské elektrárne pays close attention to the issue of security, which can be divided into the areas of information security, physical protection of assets, crisis management and operational continuity management. Top management is supported in these areas by the Company Security Committee and the Crisis Management Team.

All activities are carried out in a manner that ensures an adequate level of protection for the Company’s protected assets against identified security risks and the conformity of operations with the security interests and objectives of the Slovak Republic (SR).

Internal Control System

“The Internal Audit is an independent, objective, assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improving processes within the organisation. The Internal Audit helps the organisation to accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.”

During 2014 the Internal Audit department carried out nine planned internal audits.

Slovenské elektrárne has undertaken to abide by its own Code of Ethics, which defines the principles of responsible business conduct to which the company is committed. In order to increase the ethical awareness of its employees, the company organised various types of training events throughout the year, the content of which was determined by the functions and responsibilities of event participants. E-learning training continued to be provided for all employees of the Company in cooperation with the Human Resources department.

Slovenské elektrárne operates an Ethics Hotline, which was used to submit to the Internal Audit department nine suggestions and complaints concerning breaches of ethical principles.
