Safety first

Occupational health and safety is of particular importance at Leadec. It determines our thinking and acting, our planning, operational processes, management systems and directives worldwide. Thus, we work daily at all levels of our company to further improve our high standard in this area. This also applies to the international companies of the Leadec Group, at our own sites and at our customers’ plants. We integrate their specific requirements into our work processes, promoting continuity, cooperation and partnership.

Factory Talk about Health & Safety

Occupational safety plays an enormous role, especially in a factory environment. Employers have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace. They must ensure not only the physical, but also the mental well-being of their employees. New production methods and technologies as well as increasing digitalization and incentive systems play a role in this context.

Florian Weber, Team Leader HSEQ Europe, is responsible for occupational health and safety throughout Europe at Leadec and provides exciting insights into this topic.
