Towards zero accidents

Throughout the VELUX Group, our safety vision is to have zero accidents. Achieving this vision is driven by our safety principles and our safety values.

We work continuously to prevent accidents through training and activities that raise awareness of the importance of safety at work. If accidents happen, we spend time understanding their cause and where possible taking measures to prevent similar accidents from happening again.

Improving reporting at all sites

A large part of our efforts to prevent accidents is done using our accident reporting systems. These are continually improved and provide us with data from across the organisation that we can use to get a clearer overview of our safety performance. With this overview, we can run the necessary preventive initiatives, and share knowledge and best practices so we can continue to improve safety standards throughout VELUX.

As a global organisation, we are subject to different safety standards at our different sites. To be able to implement the highest standards of safety throughout our business, the VELUX Groupwide Safety Decision Board ensures uniform safety governance across all business units around the world.

Keeping safety top of mind

In 2023, we expanded our safety training to include white-collar workers. This means that safety training is now part of the onboarding process for all new employees. At the leadership level, we embrace the concept of visible safety leadership, acknowledging the pivotal role that leaders play in shaping and fostering an excellent safety culture. As such, visible safety leadership is an integral part of management training.
