At Enexis, we work every day to ensure a safe and welcoming workplace for all our employees. Safety is a top priority throughout our organisation. We want to be an attractive employer, where everyone is welcome and has plenty of opportunities to grow. Thanks to our employees, Enexis operates one of the most reliable energy networks in the world.
Getting everyone home safely every day
At Enexis, we work with electrical power and pipelines containing flammable gas under pressure. This involves safety risks. Therefore, safety is a top priority in our organisation. Everyone is aware that every accident is one too many, whether for our own employees or our contractors. This applies to those who work directly on the grid as well as the teams that support operations.
Our safety culture is benchmarked against the Safety Ladder, a tool that measures an organisation's safety awareness in terms of attitude, behaviour, and culture. Since late 2024, Enexis has been on level 4 (of 5). We are proud of this milestone. In 2025, there were 46 lost‑time incidents at Enexis (28) and among our contractor partners (18) (2024: 12 and 12). Unfortunately, we did not meet our safety objectives.
Learning from incidents and near misses
Safety is always a top priority for us. For example, we monitor and analyse all incidents at Enexis and our contractors. We use the lessons learned from (near) accidents in our work protocols, team meetings, training courses, and learning sessions in the professional practice hall. To reduce safety risks, we increasingly work without gas venting and, from 2026 onwards, will carry out even more work with the electricity supply switched off. This is important at a time when the workload is increasing significantly. It also ensures that new employees with no experience in the network sector can start working safely sooner. We also share our experiences with other grid operators so we can learn together and take steps to improve.
