Occupational health and safety
Our employees are our most valuable asset
Occupational health and safety have the highest priority in our company. We have an obligation to our employees, subcontractors and third parties to ensure health and safety in order to prevent accidents, personal injury and damage to property. Both organizational and technical measures are intended to help create a positive social working environment, avert economic losses and secure the company’s existence in the long term. A functioning occupational health and safety system also contributes to well-being in the workplace and supports the right to health and safety of all persons involved.
We are therefore committed, in addition to complying with legal obligations, to
- organizing all our company processes so that damage to the health of our employees and the public is avoided
- introducing and maintaining a procedure for the continuous identification and elimination of hazards, risk assessment, risk minimization and definition of control measures
- carrying out regular risk assessments of all workplaces in order to recognize, evaluate and eliminate potential hazards at an early stage
- ensuring that all safety requirements are complied with
- providing appropriate first aid equipment, first aiders and company medical care
- regularly informing and instructing our employees on safety issues
- involving and consulting our employees on the topic of occupational health and safety
- monitoring safety standards, analyzing accidents and developing measures for improvement through regular meetings of the safety committee
- creating and continuously improving safety and health standards
- insisting that our suppliers also fulfil the requirements we set ourselves.
