Saint-Gobain is committed to safety in the workplace

Saint-Gobain Construction Products South Africa is part of an international organisation that has high standards and expectations regarding environmental health and safety in the workplace.

All business units work towards these goals:

• Zero work-related accidents
• Zero occupational illnesses
• Zero non-recovered waste

The Saint-Gobain workplace approaches safety holistically, promoting the philosophy that safety is a way of life, rather than a set of rules. The Saint-Gobain environment operates on the following principles, in order to respect health and safety in the workplace, and to create a positive working environment for its employees:

• Respect for the law and for management practices.
• Management of all forms of risk.
• Measurable priorities and performances, based on group standards
• The application of the Environmental Health and Safety policy to outside contractors who are working on a Saint-Gobain site.
• Continuous, responsible and open dialogue with Saint-Gobain’s partners, including public authorities, clients, suppliers and other stakeholders.
