Investing in technical measures to prevent injuries

Using wood fuel for energy (“Biomass”) is a winning proposition for the environment. However any fuel made up of chips or particles can create dust that poses a risk of fire and explosion. At its Darlington facility in Pennsylvania, Danzer has installed a Spark Detection System to proactively detect and prevent fires in the sawdust collection, handling, and storage systems. Other locations have invested in similar solutions for this and other risks

Building a strong safety culture

Workplace health and safety are built into how we work. We set clear, site-specific health, safety and environmental (HSE) standards for employees and third-party contractors, supported by safety specialists at our locations who help implement and continuously improve safe working practices. Health and safety topics are reviewed regularly, risks are discussed openly, and actions are followed up throughout the year to help prevent incidents, strengthen safe behaviors, and support compliance.

Wellness program for better health

Danzer has established a Wellness Program to provide employees with the tools to better understand and manage their health. This initiative has included a comprehensive review and explanation of health care benefits provided by Danzer, as well as company-sponsored Biometric screenings. These screenings, which are an important component of a health management program, help employees learn about their current health status and identify health risks and disease conditions which can lead to illness and serious disease. A Walking Challenge has also been organized for employees in North America to encourage an increase in physical activity and well-being.
