Schnellecke Group AG & Co. KG’s safety at work policy is described by 10 propositions in a practical safety at work creed with the following content:
“Safety at work is part of the company philosophy”
Safety at work is a central company goal. Safe working contributes to our company’s success.
“Safety at work concerns everyone”
Each one of us has an impact on the safety in our workplace for himself/ herself and others and is jointly responsible for its maintenance. Always be attentive, avoid risks and report faults.
“You only have one life”
The behavior in accordance with laws and regulations improve safety and protect lives.
“Safety at work can be learnt”
Knowledge of possible sources of risk alone allows us to act in good time to avoid accidents. We take a positive view of innovative ideas and in the area of safety at work in particular we find the courage to adopt new solutions again and again.
“Safety at work begins as early as in planning”
Planned safety is the most inexpensive form of safety. With it, you can combat risks at the source. Good planning is active accident prevention.
“Maintaining health means setting an example with safety at work”
Observing safety at work and identifying risks in the company safeguard health. It is everyone’s duty to practise safety at work.
“Safety at work does not end at the workplace”
A safe environment is not just important in Production, on the road or in the office. The “Safety First” motto also applies in the private sphere. The following also applies outside the company: “You bear the responsibility for you own life and that of others.”
“Accident prevention starts with small things”
Accident prevention starts with the identification of faults and the prevention of near accidents. Even small causes can have a big effect. Every matter you bring to our attention helps to improve safety at work.
“Safety at work is measurable”
We use uniform indices to record and evaluate safety standards on the sites.
“Safety at work allows no exceptions”
It is every individual’s particular duty to become involved in our safety at work goals. Superiors have a special responsibility here: to set an example. Every life must be protected and kept safe from accidents.
