Our employees are key to the success of our company. Their health and safety are paramount.
Health & Safety
It goes without saying that people-friendly working conditions are a given at Forbo Movement Systems. Keeping our employees, business partners or anyone involved with our company’s products fit and healthy is one of our priorities. We comply with local health and safety legislation. This was particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is an enormous responsibility for us as a company. Our employees were given regularly updated guidelines and instructions to keep them informed about national and regional regulations. In organizational terms, we responded flexibly and pragmatically to situations and regulations regarding working hours and geographies. By offering options such as remote working, staggered shifts, providing protective face masks, issuing sanitizers and taking other organizational steps, we were able to protect employee health successfully.
Occupational health and safety processes are continuously improved. A healthy workplace equals a healthy mind and body. Employees in Germany, Austria and Switzerland can use the independent employee assistance program. A third party platform offers support on a number of personal matters, such as caring for people at home all the way to financial issues. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate formula equals the lost time incidents multiplied by one million, divided by the total hours worked on a rolling 12-month basis. This indicator is reported to top management every month as part of our safety reporting system. We continuously analyze all potential sources for accidents and occuring incidents. We initiate appropriate measures to improve our overall safety performance. The growing safety awareness of our workforce is key to lowering the total accident frequency rate.
