Occupational Health & Safety Policy Statement

We recognize the importance of the health and safety of our employees, and we are committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment at all our facilities worldwide. This policy extends to our suppliers.

  • We monitor work-related injuries and illnesses, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement measures to improve the health and safety of our employees.
  • We provide regular training to our employees on different aspects of health and safety, including the safe operation of machines, identifying hazardous substances, and implementing controls to mitigate risks. We have established emergency scenarios for different types of disasters and conduct regular training to prevent accidents and minimize damage in case of accidents.
  • We conduct regular risk assessments for health and safety-related practices at our facilities worldwide and major suppliers. Our risk assessment tools include RBA Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). Additionally, we conduct regular audits for select new and existing suppliers to evaluate health and safety-related practices in our supply chain.
