Health and safety policy.
Policy statement
Part of Glasbau Hahn's mission statement and sustainability goals is to manage the company in such a way that the health, safety and well-being of employees, customers, contractors and other persons who may be affected by the company's activities (affected group) are prioritised and fully integrated into our operational processes.
Health is a person's greatest asset. For this reason, safety in the workplace always takes precedence over other aspects in the performance of work tasks. This is part of our corporate culture and contributes to the success of our company, because healthy and motivated employees are a basic prerequisite for the performance and economic success of our company. For this reason, occupational health and safety - in particular the prevention of risks to our employees - is a business objective of equal importance to other economic aspects and essential corporate objectives (such as quality, on-time delivery and customer satisfaction). This includes the selection of safe and tested work equipment and its timely inspection by testing companies (e.g. TÜV), as well as the continuous assessment of all risks, from which appropriate technical and organisational measures are derived to optimise the working environment.
In the development and manufacture of our display cases and in the use of work equipment, vehicles, devices, hazardous substances, facilities or other objects, we take into account all safety-related aspects as well as existing regulations and manufacturers' instructions. This applies to all activities at Glasbau Hahn as well as on site at our customers' international locations. If certificates are required by the client in this connection, these will be provided and the necessary measures will be taken.
Glasbau Hahn undertakes to comply with the requirements of all relevant national and international regulations, laws and directives in order to fulfil these obligations.
The management and its executives - who set an example by their actions - as well as the entire company and all employees, who together contribute to continuous improvement, are responsible for the health and safety of the group. Together, we continually identify opportunities for improvement and implement appropriate measures. We do this by reviewing the past and being open to new ideas.
Purpose
We at Glasbau Hahn want to continuously improve the health, safety and welfare of our employees, customers, contractors and other persons who may be affected by the activities of our company (affected group).
