Occupational health and safety: KSB offers a safe workplace
When it comes to occupational health and safety, KSB can call on specially developed guidelines, early preventive measures and the personal responsibility of its employees.
The health of all employees is a priority for KSB. That is why we have developed occupational health and safety standards that in many cases exceed national and international regulations.
Safety has absolute priority
A safe workplace where you don’t have to worry about your health – this should be a matter of course. But in some regions of the world where KSB operates, this is unfortunately not always the case.
As the health and safety of all employees around the globe is a top priority, KSB has developed its own environmental, health and safety (EHS) regulations.
These EHS requirements apply internationally to all employees at all locations.
High level of personal responsibility for more safety
KSB’s EHS regulations often even exceed national and international requirements. As a responsible company, we require our suppliers and external partners to adhere to these regulations, even if lower standards apply by law in the country in question.
A basic principle of hazard prevention and health protection is to involve employees when setting out regulations.
KSB thus relies on a high degree of personal responsibility on the part of all colleagues. After all, employees understand operational processes and requirements best and know where dangerous situations can arise.
Identifying hazards right from the development stage
In addition, KSB implements internationally standardised hazard identification and prevention measures. For example, the company systematically examines the effects and potential associated hazards of its products for people and the environment as early as the development stage.
If KSB becomes aware of a potential risk, the company takes preventive measures at an early stage that comply with internal EHS requirements and ensure safety in the workplace.
Of course, KSB also monitors ongoing operation to ensure compliance with its own regulations and country-specific laws.
Overall, KSB creates a safe working environment for employees, service providers and contractors that reduces any risks to an absolute minimum.
