Health and Safety

An essential common goal of vgbe is to identify and eliminate quality defects in the plants in order to increase process safety, occupational health and safety and availability. Over 100 years of activity and experience form the competence for the topics of the present and the future.

Operators, developers and manufacturers are strongly committed to OSH culture, and commonly concerned to understand and attend to control and prevent safety risks.

This means knowing the relevant laws, building regulations and standards as well as the requirements of insurers and the distribution of responsibilities of all parties involved.

Building on a long tradition of vgbe activities in the field of occupational health and safety, vgbe has established a platform for “Health and Safety” for all interested parties. Thus, vgbe strengthens the network for occupational safety culture and process safety.
