Thus, occupational health and safety management is a priority for us, which we implement through the implemented policy in this area, identification and risk assessment or participation in activities carried out in the PCC Group, aimed at conducting business in a way that protects employees, facilities and equipment.
We are constantly striving to limit the negative impact of our business, as we belong to a group of companies with a high risk of a serious industrial accident.

We maintain disaster prevention programs and handle all reporting issues.

We provide all employees with mandatory and regular training in occupational health and safety as well as individual and collective measures to protect employees.
We provide safe and hygienic working conditions that meet the standards of the chemical industry.
Concern for the safety of people and the environment is one of the priorities in our business strategy. We aim to reduce all types of hazards occurring in the work environment by taking actions aimed among others at preventing accidents.

Due to the fact that our employment does not exceed 260 people, we are not obliged to set up a committee on occupational safety and health.
