Work environment

Ensuring that our employees have a healthy work environment, that they receive good healthcare and are offered preventative healthcare are important success factors, not least for our factories. On an annual basis, we undertake various types of training courses, promoting safety and health.

During 2009, for example, approximately 40 of our employees undertook a three day training course, focusing on the work environment and safety, with the goal that the employee and the company, together, could further improve the already positive work climate. During 2009, the Group reported a total of 24 work-related accidents resulting in more than one day of absence.

The most frequent cause of accidents was injuries from handling materials and mechanical equipment. The number of reported cases of work-related injuries/illness leading to more than one day of absence at our manufacturing facilities was 8. The majority of the injuries were strain injuries.
