Occupational Health & Safety
The health and safety of our employees is the highest priority for K+S. We have the guiding principle: ”We always put safety and the protection of health first and act sustainably in everything we do.” Providing a healthy and safe working environment for the protection of our employees is, therefore, a top priority.
Based on the corporate policy for health, safety, environment, quality, and sustainability, we continuously develop and improve our processes to protect health and to ensure occupational safety.
K+S actively pursues the identification of potential hazards and work-related stress to take prompt measures for the continuous improvement of occupational health and safety. In this respect, we rely on a proactive approach in identifying potential risks at an early stage and taking countermeasures. Together with experts, we design information campaigns, training courses, and other measures to raise awareness of safety issues and promote a preventative attitude. By taking proactive approaches both internally and externally, we strive to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for all employees.
The K+S Group has also adopted the management system for occupational health and safety in accordance with the BGRCI “Sicher mit System” seal of quality based on DIN ISO 45001.
Our employees are the strength of the company. Their health and safety are our top priority - not production, revenues, or earnings.
Occupational health promotion and prevention
Our occupational health promotion and prevention programs supplement the management systems with measures to improve health competencies. These measures range from traditional health care courses and seminars to early cancer detection measures and counseling services. The programs and measures are planned specifically at each site and are aligned to the relevant needs and local conditions.
The K+S vision is to completely prevent accidents at work. We are aiming to significantly reduce our lost time injury (LTI) rate by 2030.
K+S Values
The six values are the common set of the different value concepts of all K+S Group companies. They form the basis of our cooperation and demonstrate our commitment to our work.
Occupational safety is firmly anchored in the K+S values.
