HSE, Quality and Environment

Our HMS policy

“Our employees is the most important contributing factor for attainment of the company’s goals. Thus, the company will safeguard the employees’ health, safety and well-being by facilitating operations and a working environment that will prevent injuries and any adverse effects, and promote openness and good communication between the employees. In order to protect the external environment, the company will seek to establish routines that will prevent all accidental discharges. Moreover, the objective of the company will always be to manufacture products with the least possible impact on the environment in an industrial ecological perspective.”

A business that come into contact with the transport of dangerous goods by road or rail is obliged to appoint a dangerous goods safety advisor. A safety advisor has defined tasks regarding preventive safety work in connection with the transport of dangerous goods. Our QHSE leader is a certified dangerous goods safety advisor to abide by this obligation.

The ISO 9000 family of quality management system standards is designed to help organisations ensure that they fulfil the needs of customers and other stakeholders while meeting statutory and regulatory requirements related their products.
