Health and safety are very important to us.
The construction industry holds various risks and it is therefore significant to take proactive steps to help prevent accidents. At Hilti this is managed at Group level by guidelines aimed at occupational safety and health protection at work, which includes protective personal clothing.
We are also working at a worldwide level on evaluating workplace danger and coordinating the correct preventive measures.
We offer driver safety training to our people in the field and also train our employees on how to correctly use protective gear and clothing on the construction site.
However, staying fit is equally important. In addition to measures prescribed by law, our organizations offer employees individual possibilities for health promotion, which is the responsibility of our health management unit.
Some of the ways we promote a healthy lifestyle among our employees are by sponsoring numerous leisure time groups focused on sporting activities, by providing fitness and workout possibilities, preventive health checks and healthy fare at our staff restaurants.
A specialist for occupational medicine supports and advises our employees at Corporate Headquarters in Liechtenstein on how to prevent occupational-related illnesses. This includes offering sensible travel-related vaccinations and assistance in workplace reintegration after an accident or severe illness.
