KLINGER Finland is aware of the occupational health and safety risks associated with its operations. Our Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHS) ensures that all conditions and factors that affect or may affect the health and safety of individuals employed by the company, as well as other workers, visitors, or any other persons present at our facilities, are taken into account in our operational guidelines. KLINGER Finland’s Occupational Health and Safety Management System is certified according to the ISO45001:2018 standard.
We support the maintenance of work ability through proactive occupational health care and by minimising risk factors in the work environment. We are committed to preventing injuries and health deterioration, as well as to the continuous improvement of our OHS activities and management. KLINGER Finland complies with current legislation and communicates OHS responsibilities to its personnel, while also requiring the same from its partners.
