We actively use a global occupational health and safety and environmental management system that is undergoing continuous improvement and provide our employees with a fulfilling and fruitful life until retirement age. We elaborate forward-looking holistic concepts, structures, and processes that we implement in collaboration with our contractual partners. We carry out regular checks across all areas to determine the extent to which these measures have been implemented and to monitor the success of our management system.

We are convinced that all work-related accidents and illnesses can be avoided. Motivated employees and managers help us achieve our goal of a zero-accident workplace. When it comes to protection, our employees and contractors have equal priority. When designing work centers and procedures, we take into account the latest trends and developments and place special emphasis on ergonomic design.

We configure, purchase, operate, and maintain machines and facilities in such a way as to minimize potential hazards, risks, and operational disturbances. Our technology is based on the latest state of the art.
