Health and Safety Policy
Filtrona is committed to the health and safety of all its employees. This commitment extends to any other person affected by the Group’s activities, including customers, suppliers and visitors.

Filtrona’s policy is to incorporate the necessary training and supervision to ensure a safe and healthy environment.

Every Filtrona site is responsible for the design of its own Health and Safety Policy to comply at the very least with the laws and regulations of the relevant country, and also satisfy Filtrona’s own requirements.

An annual review of health and safety at each business location is mandatory to ensure ongoing compliance with best business practice and relevant laws and regulations.

Health and safety is important for all employees and Filtrona demands their fullest involvement and co-operation.

A key driver of Filtrona’s success has been the high degree of autonomy which has been afforded to local managements, allowing them to serve local markets in the most appropriate manner.

Within this decentralised structure the Company has established core health and safety policies which the businesses are required to implement.  These procedures are designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and, wherever possible, to employ best practice.

One of the objectives of the Company is to achieve improvements in health and safety, and ongoing initiatives are designed to monitor, assess and action performance.  This is driven not only by Filtrona’s commitment to meeting its legal responsibilities but also by an ethical desire to protect all employees from dangers in the workplace.
