HSE

Health Safety Environment

The drivers behind safety work

Safety is our number one priority

  • Accidents do not "just happen", they are caused
  • Growth must not come at the expense of either health or safety
  • When we are aware of a risk, we can do something about it

The most important measurement parameter for safety work at AF is the LTI rate

AF Gruppen's Safety Enhancement Program

Employees are exposed to risk in their everyday work

SOLUTION

Small, incremental solutions that solve safety challenges Helmet that protects against fall

Cut-outs can cause fall accidents with serious outcomes

SOLUTION

Standardisation of alternative, temporary securing of cut-outs

Welding and lift points on platforms exposed to the elements

SOLUTION

AF has developed its own method that uses a lifting pin

The ground in building sites can contain a lot of unsafe materials

SOLUTION

To date, no electronic sensors can compete with a dog's nose. AF has used specially trained dogs to search for civilian explosives since 2012

Today's hearing protection has weaknesses, far too many people sustain hearing damage

SOLUTION

Investment (through Construct Venture) in next-generation hearing protection, Minuendo
