Working safely
'We work safely, or we don't work.'
This is the motto of our Vision on Safety Culture. We expect all our employees to work safely. This applies to physical safety as well as social and information security. We expect the same from our contractors and partners: 'We work safely, or we don't work at all!'
Safety at wastewater treatment plants
Working at a sewage treatment plant is not without its dangers. To clearly communicate these dangers, we have made a safety film. Naturally, all our employees have watched the film. In it, we explain the house rules and discuss the safety regulations. The film is available in Dutch, English, and German.
The safety film covers the following topics, among others:
- general operating rules
- arrival/parking
- sign up/unsubscribe
- traffic rules and warning signs
- Which water is/is not drinkable?
- instructions from staff members
- work permit
- risks at a water treatment plant
- bacterial contamination
- toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
- explosion hazard
- working in confined spaces
- risk of falling
- unloading hazardous substances
- the environment
