Safety first
Safety is the foundation of all our efforts, and at Billerud, we want to engage all our employees in preventing incidents and accidents.
Our goal is for all our employees to leave their work shifts in the same condition as when they arrived. We believe that an inclusive work culture, where we all care about each other's physical and mental well-being, is an important part of promoting a safe work environment.
At Billerud, we offer a variety of safety and occupational health training programs. We have various occupational health training programs that are linked to legal requirements, as well as training specific to different roles, including more general safety training that provides information on how we work safely and develop our safety culture.
