Safety first
from MAEM MAGAZINE 4
by MAEM
Health and safety at work represent values in themselves for us. To this end, we have been continuously improving workplace safety and health from the very start of business operations.
We strive to ensure that each employee returns home from work as healthy as they were at the beginning of the working day.
Our aim is to eliminate all kinds of accidents at work, to create a safe work environment and to engage each employee in the safety process in order to promote safe work practices and appropriate work habits in and outside the workplace.
One of the pillars of safety process we have implemented is the safety of manufacturing jobs. When starting work, production employees are provided with necessary personal protective equipment, including:
> Anti-cut and/or anti-vibration gloves, depending on the specific job;
> Safety footwear;
> Hearing protection – earplugs to be worn by employees in accordance with their needs;
> Safety glasses required at the machining, quality control and assembly departments;
> Disposable coveralls with a disposable mask to be worn while painting;
> Safety helmets in colours depending on the job position. The assigned colours are as follows:
• white for the director, manager, maintenance department employees, HSE specialist
• yellow for gantry crane operators;
• blue for forklift drivers, buffer stock, quality control, production and warehouse staff;
• black for the IT department employees.
All our employees are also required to comply with safety rules and regulations, to behave in a safe manner and to report any potential threats identified in their own as well as in their colleagues’ workplaces.
We would be pleased if you could visit our manufacturing plant located in Zator, 50 km from Krakow, to meet our production staff and to see for yourself that safety first practices are being implemented in each workplace at our company.
