SHEQ: Safety/Security, Health, Environment, Quality & CSR

Sustainability plays a significant role at Klaeser.

Klaeser has invested - to the limits of its economic capacity - sustainably in infrastructure (e.g., company grounds, buildings, IT), technical equipment (e.g., vehicles, machines, technology for facilities), technical devices (e.g., telematic units) and the qualification of employees (e.g., through our own training and continuing education opportunities, as well as regular specialized training offers). The potential risks in respect to safety, health and the environment as well as their effects on business activities are analyzed and documented - with the help of experts if necessary. At the same time, the legal basis for these measures is regularly kept up-to-date. Whenever required, preventative measures will be taken to minimize and control risks.

Quality Management System according to ISO 9001:2015

Since 1995, Klaeser has been utilizing a certified quality management system and is regularly subjected to internal and independent external audits in this context. The objectives are:

  • greater economic efficiency through the optimization of operational procedures;
  • locating the potential for improvement and conservation;

Protection of Health, Work and Objects

During all business activities at Klaeser, health protection, job safety, as well as the protection of persons and objects are treated with as much diligence as the actual business procedures themselves. At the company, a job safety commission has been established which discusses topics from the areas of health and work protection, introduces the appropriate measures, and monitors the corresponding implementation on a quarterly basis.

The Objective is: Zero Accidents, Zero Incidents, Zero Damage

A corresponding sense of responsibility as well as active participation on the part of all employees are supported. For the transport of hazardous goods with a high potential for danger, a company security plan has been developed, which is re-examined on a regular basis and adapted to new requirements.

Social Responsibility

Klaeser as an enterprise is also aware of its social responsibility. Not only for this reason, our enterprise is supporting the „Kindernothilfe“ – a children’s emergency relief association. In July 2014, we celebrated the 25-year anniversary of this partnership and were honored with a certificate. We plan to continue this partnershp in the future in order to contribute our part in supporting and aiding those in real need.
