Safety and environment successfully managed in Germany

In 2009, all the Dyckerhoff cement plants in Germany implemented a workplace safety and environmental protection management system that meets the requirements of the “Sicher mit System” (Systematic Safety) seal of approval and DIN EN ISO 14001.
The workplace safety management system is a tool that incorporates the protection of health and safety in the workplace into the corporate culture. The certification has triggered a continuous improvement process to identify and eliminate weaknesses, which will further reduce accidents.

The environmental protection management system is a tool that helps companies organize and maintain a system to ensure that their facilities cause minimal impact to the environment. One example of this is the reduction in CO2 emissions, and fuel and electricity consumption.

We are sure the introduction of the workplace safety and environmental protection systems will reduce the environmental impact of our activities and the number of workplace accidents, with obvious health benefits for our employees.
