Engagement & Work Environment

The work environment in our organisation must be such that those who work for us do not suffer ill health or injury as a result of their work, and that they are happy and can develop both professionally and as individuals. The work environment programme covers all activities and the employee's overall work situation, taking into account physical, mental and social aspects.

We work actively to minimise the risks of occupational injuries, accidents and incidents and engage in activities that promote employee health, job satisfaction and efficiency. As a minimum, we must comply with the work environment legislation to which we are subject, and we strive to constantly improve our work environment, both organisationally and socially as well as physically.

In our workplace, this means that:

• Work environment management is a natural part of the organisation.
• Work environment management is carried out systematically and preventively by monitoring legal and regulatory requirements, identifying risks, long-term planning and, where necessary, immediate action.
• Work environment issues are dealt with transparently and the employees concerned are given the opportunity for good insight and information. Views and experience in the field of health and safety are utilised.
• Work environment management takes place through active co-operation between managers and employees. Everyone can influence their work environment.
• Managers and supervisors have/are given the right knowledge, skills, resources and authority to promote a good and safe working environment.
• All staff receive the induction and training they need to work safely.
• We regularly, and when changes occur, examine and risk assess our physical, organisational and social work environment in order to take the necessary measures to create a safe and secure workplace.
• All incidents and accidents that occur are reported and investigated so that we can take action.
• Occupational health and safety factors are always considered in all types of purchases.

As an employee you are expected to:

• Comply with applicable rules and instructions.
• Take personal responsibility for health and safety in their daily work and actively contribute to eliminating risks.
• Work to continuously improve the working environment.
• Be sure to use personal protective equipment where required.

In addition to your employee responsibilities, you are expected to act as a manager/supervisor:

• Take responsibility for identifying risks and continuously improving the work environment.
• Ensure that employees are aware of risks and have sufficient skills and information to work safely and in a good working environment.
