Occu­pa­tional Safety and Health Protec­tion Policy

It is our wish that our own and subcon­trac­tor’s employees can go home in good health every day.

And as our conduct serves as an example inter­nally and exter­nally, health and safety in the work­place begins in the mind. So from our many years of expe­ri­ence, we have devel­oped a few simple rules to moti­vate every employee in the HOFF­MANN Group of Compa­nies to achieve our objec­tives.

The SONAX Health& Safety in the Work­place Regu­la­tions.

1. Employees

Phys­ical integrity and good health are very valu­able assets. That’s why occu­pa­tional safety and health protec­tion have a very high priority with us. It is up to every­body, through their conduct, to set an example in safety and health protec­tion.

Together we imple­ment our health and safety goals. That is why we main­tain inten­sive and direct dialogue.

2. Further training and infor­ma­tion

Our employees undergo regular activ­i­ties (training courses, further educa­tion) in the field of safety and health protec­tion, raising aware­ness and providing qual­i­fi­ca­tions.

3. Commu­ni­ca­tion

We will answer any ques­tions directed to us honestly and openly. When choosing our suppliers we make sure, within the limits of our resources, that they fully recog­nise their respon­si­bil­i­ties for health and safety in the work­place.

4. Preven­tion

For us, occu­pa­tional safety and health protec­tion means first and fore­most preven­tion. This includes the preven­tion or minimi­sa­tion of hazards, the training of employees in safe, correct action and with that preven­tion of acci­dents.

To support preven­tion system­atic hazard assess­ments and training are carried out.

5. Training

For us, safety and health protec­tion are inte­gral elements in the training objec­tives.

6. Manage­ment respon­si­bility

Occu­pa­tional safety and health protec­tion is for us an impor­tant manage­ment task which our managers put into prac­tise by exem­plary conduct.

7. Plan­ning

In our plan­ning, occu­pa­tional safety and health protec­tion concerns are taken into account. This partic­u­larly applies to the selec­tion of external contrac­tors.

8. Product devel­op­ment and produc­tion processes

With new raw mate­rials, prod­ucts and produc­tion processes, the occu­pa­tional safety and health protec­tion require­ments are taken into account right from the devel­op­ment and testing phases.

9. Resources

We make avail­able the human, finan­cial and time resources neces­sary for occu­pa­tional safety and health protec­tion.

10. Occu­pa­tional health care

We offer our employees the neces­sary occu­pa­tional medical exam­i­na­tions, which are carried out by the company physi­cian.

11. Moni­toring

On our own respon­si­bility, we monitor and control facil­i­ties and processes by regular site inspec­tions and audits.

12. Indi­vidual initia­tive

For us, occu­pa­tional safety and health protec­tion are not merely a ques­tion of laws and regu­la­tions. We prac­tise it on our own initia­tive and respon­si­bility with the aim of contin­uous improve­ment.

13. Loca­tion safe­guarding

In the long term, a busi­ness only has a chance when it oper­ates econom­i­cally. The preven­tion of acci­dents, damages or losses contributes to this.
