Wherever people work, hazards can occur - not only when handling machines or hazardous substances, but also during activities in the office and in the field.
"What causes accidents and what makes people ill?" or "What keeps people healthy?" - based on these basic questions, the entire Westfalen Group aims not "only" to fulfil the minimum legal requirements in accordance with the rules, but also to establish improved standards and continuously develop them further.
The integration of occupational safety into all hierarchical levels - in conjunction with open communication - forms the foundation of efficient and preventive occupational health and safety. The fact that occupational health and safety activities are also carried out in close cooperation with authorities, accident insurance institutions, associations and other parties is an outstanding feature.
