On March 4, 2010, our responsible company supervisor from the Norddeutsche Metallberufsgenossenschaft, Ing. Peter Reichardt, invited our employees to a training course.
In cooperation with our social services department, qualified social education worker Sabine Jäger, training courses on this topic are held regularly. This is important because new colleagues are constantly joining us due to the fixed-term employment contracts and others who are now well versed in the subject unfortunately have to leave.
It is precisely from this point of view that practicing workplace safety is a necessary requirement. It would be unacceptable if someone were to come to harm in the context of work financed on a temporary basis by the Jobcenter. Special responsibility therefore also lies with the supervisors, the management and the Executive Board.
Although we have always succeeded in keeping the number of accidents at work low, dangers lurk everywhere. Accordingly, in his presentation, Ing. Reichardt once again focused our attention on our day-to-day work and the routines that often lead to carelessness. Using many practical examples, he made it convincingly clear that the argument “Nothing has ever happened to me” is only valid until something happens.
