Promoting a safe & healthy workplace

Working to provide a safe and healthy workplace in order to reduce the risk of injuries and diseases caused by chemicals is an integral part of Anticimex’s business model. The health and safety management of the Group’s branches is regularly monitored during business reviews. The Group further promotes preventative training of relevant employees in safe working practices, including mandatory training for drivers and those working in potentially dangerous or hazardous environments, such as heat treatment, fumigation or where the service performance requires ladder work. Moreover, the Group’s increasing use of its SMART solutions also reduces employees’ exposure to biocides. As a key performance indicator, the Group tracks the number of lost time injuries of one day or more per million hours worked (LTI). The Group focuses on promoting safe behavior as well as on continuous training sessions for safer procedures, in order to reach the goal of zero incidents.

In 2020, the Group had 3.7 incidents per 100 employees. The Group also measures its performance in this focus area based on an employee survey containing the statement “I believe Anticimex is a safe place to work”.In 2020, approximately 97 percent of the Group’s employees responded that they feel physically safe at their workplace.
