How We Foster Health and Work Safety
Achieving the goal of zero accidents requires individual commitment, effective communication, continuous learning, and the development of a strong safety culture. At GELITA, managing occupational safety is a shared responsibility between individual plants and on-site experts. The central Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) unit coordinates and networks internally, while the GO-SAFE network promotes collaboration and synergy across all locations.
Our Safety Alert System monitors incidents, and our global safety standards, described in our Occupational Health and Safety Manual, are constantly reviewed and aligned with international norms. To further encourage a safety culture, GELITA presents the international Safety Award annually, recognizing outstanding achievements in categories such as "Best Improver" and "Best Performer".
Reducing Accidents by Mimizing Potential Harm
Our commitment goes beyond routine training and includes daily exchanges in shopfloor meetings. We provide comprehensive support through various measures to prevent human error and detect technical faults, minimizing potential harm.
Safety in the workplace is at the heart of our operations and forms an integral part of GO-BEST, our program for operational excellence.
By implementing targeted measures that resulted in a substantial reduction in accidents, we achieved a significant milestone in occupational safety.

Safe Facilities and Processes
Prioritizing property risk management ensures protection for our employees, local residents, and the environment. From the initial planning and construction phases, our engineers integrate safety measures into all subsequent operations. Through our 5S+ safety program and other initiatives, we maintain an organized and ergonomic workplace that promotes a safe working environment.
Our commitment to facility and process safety is evident in our outstanding performance, as measured by the Process Safety Incident Rate (PSIR), positioning us favorably by international standards. We go beyond regulatory compliance, demonstrating a proactive approach and unwavering dedication to maintaining the highest safety standards across our global operations.
