Safe production on the factory premises of paper manufacturer Reflex.
Three paper machines, cutting and embossing units and industrial trucks. On the factory premises of the paper manufacturer Reflex, there are many potential sources of danger for the approximately 110 employees. Accordingly, it is important to take precautions to avoid accidents. The topic of occupational safety is firmly anchored in the company's philosophy, and so there has not yet been a single serious personal accident. Thanks to the consistent implementation of occupational safety measures at Reflex, there has not been a reportable accident in a year.
Ralf Meier, responsible for occupational safety at Reflex, is glad that no serious accidents have occurred so far, but he knows: "Every day we have to consistently apply the safety standards and constantly check them. Only in this way is it possible to achieve a zero in the statistics over such a long period of time. We must not let up now! All colleagues are working together to ensure that this accident-free period continues."
It is not only the machines that pose a risk. A focus for occupational health and safety in 2020, was ergonomics in the workplace: an issue that is often underestimated. These are the insidious ailments that grow over the years, such as back problems, circulatory or visual disorders. To prevent these ailments, the paper mill has invested in new office furniture and the right lighting for the workplaces.
Michael Sablatnig, Managing Director on one year accident-free: "As far as company history and records can trace back, we could not find a year with such an outstanding event. A special thanks therefore goes to all employees who actively live a whole range of comprehensive occupational safety measures!"
