“Safety and quality are a shared priority. Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Today, I feel confident in saying that my role has strengthened my leadership skills and has had a positive impact on quality and safety. As Vice President for Quality of the Exterior & Lighting Business Group, I have to ensure that both concepts are firmly embedded in our day-to-day operations. Every employee’s workplace environment must enable him or her to feel confident to make the right decisions: that is key to our success! To achieve this, we must be committed and determined. Safety is a priority for all OPmobility employees at every level, from operators to management. Our six ‘nonnegotiables’ play a key role in the Group’s safety policy: they are structured in a logical way and guarantee real operational discipline. Providing rules on pedestrian circulation, personal protective equipment, forklifts, suspended loads, LOTO procedures, and working at heights, these ‘non-negotiables’ have a direct impact on safety and quality. RAMONA DEIS Vice President Quality, Exterior & Lighting Business Group, OPmobility “Safety is a priority for all OPmobility employees at every level, from operators to management.” safety & quality To achieve the level of safety we have set for ourselves, training is vital. One day, I almost walked under a suspended load, something that would have been a breach of one of our ‘non-negotiables’. Fortunately, because of our training, my colleagues and I were able to prevent this incident. This helped me understand two things: the strength of our corporate safety culture and the importance of a proactive understanding of the rules. When safety is a shared priority, we can create an environment that fosters quality, in which every person goes home safely at the end of the working day.” Employees at the Greer site in the United States.
