| Our main concern is to be a stable and attractive
employer. For this reason we are governed by our brand values.
Corporate citizenship is, above all, a mindset whereby people
consider the social and environmental consequences of their
day-to-day decisions. As the responsibility of every manager
and employee, corporate citizenship is based on our company
wide guidelines.
In operational terms, business planning is the basis on which
our activities are planned. Business planning is divided into
four areas of priority, of which No. 1 is customer satisfaction.
The other areas are profitable growth, the next generation
of processes, and the next generation of leaders and employees.
The safety and health of employees is planned and monitored
within the established structures. This means that Health
and Safety are Core Values at Woodmet Anodisers Ltd and run
throughout all our activities. Woodmet safety programmes shall
be characterised by a holistic view, continual improvement,
technical development and resource efficiency. Woodmet will
by these means gain competitive advantage and contribute to
sustainable development.
Holistic view
The detrimental impact on health and safety of our industrial
operations shall be minimised by:
Taking account of the complete process when planning
for safety;
Seeking to ensure that a similar degree of care is
taken by our working partners;
Taking a leading position regarding health and safety
standards;
Making the provision of a safe working environment
a fundamental requirement, with regard to all legislation
and other regulations as a minimum standard.
Continual improvement
Our health and safety activities shall be integrated in all
our operations and shall improve continually by:
Formulating, communicating and monitoring clearly-defined
goals;
Involving all employees.
Technical development
We shall strive to exceed the legal minimum expectations by:
Continually improving our industrial operations, and
reducing risks associated with them;
Creating a healthy in-factory environment for all our
employees;
Reducing the use of hazardous substances;
Increasing the competence of all our employees.
Resource efficiency
Taking account of our products and customers, industrial operations
shall be such that:
The risk from all operations and substances used is
minimised;
The potential for accidents [non-lost time, lost time
and reportable] is minimised;
Health and safety management is facilitated.
Woodmet Anodisers Ltd health and safety programmes and their
results shall be communicated in an open and factual manner.
Each member of the executive management is responsible for
implementing action programmes based on this policy.
