Health & Safety / MSDS

Lafarge is the safest company in its sector. Since 2002, the Lafarge Group has achieved a significant reduction in both the frequency and the gravity of work-related accidents. These improvements are due in part to the Group's Health and Safety management system, which defines the minimum safety levels required for all Lafarge sites.

A great deal remains to be done to become one of the safest industrial groups in the world. For this reason, employee safety is the Group's n°1 priority.

To reach its target of zero fatal accidents and keep lost time injuries to a minimum, Lafarge:

• informs its employees and subcontractors about the risks related to their activities and provides appropriate training,
• supervises the systematic application of safety standards,
• implements procedures for reporting incidents and undertakes regular audits,
• identifies and communicates best practices and drives their adoption across all worksites.
