Health as a fundamental value
The health and safety of our people are our main priorities. With numerous daily activities, we are improving working conditions and reducing the risk of accidents at work. Extremely high standards are in place in the company when health and safety are concerned. We also spread awareness among our employees about healthy living and encourage a fit lifestyle. We use a comprehensive approach to training, communication, rewarding and preventive operation in the area of promoting health and safety. Management in the field of professional health and safety is based on the ISO 45000 (OHSAS 18001), which we obtained in 2000.
