SAFETYWORKS!

Responsibility for safety is a top priority at Bilfinger

SAFETYWORKS! is a program that will be started on a Group-wide basis in 2013. The program is based on the existing occupational safety standards in the individual units. The most important objective of SAFETYWORKS! is the safety and the protection of the health of each individual employee.

One thing is clear: our safety standards are already at a high level. The framework conditions, including the implementation of legal requirements, have been met and are being complied with. As a result, we have been able to noticeably reduce the number of work-related accidents. This number could, however, be much lower. For this reason, we have set the goal of further reducing the number of work-related accidents or, ideally, avoiding these completely and thus contributing to our becoming among the best in our industry.

The requirements of an ever-increasing number of clients – also in relation to occupational safety and health protection – are constantly on the rise. In order to remain competitive over the long term with other comparable companies in the
future, we must improve even more.

Every accident is avoidable

Experience has shown that approximately 90 percent of all work-related accidents, incidents and events are behaviorrelated. That means that they could have been avoided through a greater level of attention and safety awareness. For this reason, one of the goals of the SAFETYWORKS! program is the optimization of the safety culture. A key element is improving awareness of safe behavior. The most important condition for this is the decision from all managers and employees to assume responsibility for their own health and safety as well as the health and safety of their colleagues.

If this behavior is lived by all concerned, a safety culture will arise within which the safety and health protection will naturally have top priority – and will not be neglected in favor of other objectives. It is precisely this point that is the motto of SAFETYWORKS!.
