Workplace Safety: Together, let's reduce musculoskeletal disorders for a #ZeroAccident goal!

At Snef Group, September is dedicated to safety.

As part of our prevention campaign, we are focusing on combating MSDs (musculoskeletal disorders), risks to which our field workers, especially on construction sites, are particularly exposed. 🔧

🚧 5 habits to adopt to prevent MSDs:

• Check the ergonomics of your workstation to avoid bad posture.
• Prepare your body with warm-up exercises before any muscular effort.
• Adopt safe movements and appropriate postures for each of your activities.
• Organize regular rotations to avoid prolonged positions.
• Use mechanical aids or ask a colleague to help move heavy loads.

We are all responsible for our safety. Together, let's make the prevention of MSDs a priority to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. ⚠️

The Aéroparc de Fontaine Solar Park is now operational

The construction project of the Fontaine Solar Park, located in Belfort (90) with a total capacity of 41 MWp, has been successfully completed.

Built on a former NATO airfield, spanning 35 hectares, this solar park marks a significant step towards local and #sustainable energy production for the Eastern region. ⚡

A major player in photovoltaic energy, Snef carried out the EPC (Engineering Procurement Construction) of this new power plant. The work included studies, wiring, DC and AC low and high voltage connections, fiber optic network, electronic monitoring, as well as the installation of substations and photovoltaic panels. 🔆

Through the site's engineering and design, Snef assists the client in optimizing the performance of the power plant to maximize output.

Launched in April 2023, this solar park project is now operational on a historic site that includes 60% wetland. With nearly 74,000 photovoltaic panels installed, it can power the residents of Belfort and the surrounding region with local and #sustainable energy, marking a significant step forward in the region's #EnergyTransition. 🔋

In line with COP28's reaffirmed ambition to combat climate change, Snef Group strengthens its commitment to providing competitive, decarbonized, and reliable energy for future generations. 🌱
