Health and safety

Alfa Laval’s safety vision Is “We return home safely – every day”. This vision means that our ambition is to have a workplace that is free from accidents and work related illnesses. We work to continuously improve our Health & Safety performance. Alfa Laval’s key target towards 2020 is to reduce Lost Time Injuries by 30% compared with 2017. To achieve this goal we focus on three main areas – safe behaviour, safe procedures and protective equipment. Promoting behavioural change is necessary to create a safety culture in the workplace. At Alfa Laval we use a method known as 3PR (three prioritized safety risks) at our facilities. Using this method employees are made aware of existing and prioritized risks and the importance of their own behaviour and attitude towards the risks in reducing them. We have noted this focus on behavioural change has made a positive impact on reducing injuries.

At Alfa Laval ensuring good employee health is both about concern for the individual as well as promoting the company’s business success. Alfa Laval’s work is based on continuous improvement and development through systematically working to improve health and safety. Local conditions determine the nature of the actions implemented to improve health and wellbeing.
