Health & Safety
Sandvik will strive to provide healthy and safe workplaces. We will continue to reduce injuries and illness and involve our employees in health and well-being activities.

Sandvik will continue to take a systematic approach to comply with or exceed applicable environmental, health and safety legal and other requirements.
Continual improvement
Environment, health and safety issues are fully integrated into Sandvik’s operations. We will achieve continual improvement through developing ‘active, courageous and visible’ EHS leadership and by developing a strong EHS culture. This will include the consultation and participation of workers and, where applicable, workers’ representatives. Objectives and Targets will be incorporated in local EHS Plans and will be monitored to ensure they are implemented through to completion. Best practices will be developed and shared throughout the company.
