SAFETY AT FACTORY PREMICES
Nium is one of the few prestressing products suppliers with a dedicated safety team. Starting with the leadership team and extending throughout the company, safety comes first.
Our Safety Goal
The manufacturing industry in which all of our businesses operate poses significant safety challenges, but we do not accept that people will inevitably be injured while working for us or with us. Our ultimate goal is to have zero incidents through the effective management of safety in all our operations.


Our Safety Principles
Underpinning this goal are three fundamental Safety Principles:
- All incidents are preventable - We believe that all injuries and occupational illnesses are preventable. We are all responsible for preventing and correcting unsafe behaviour or work conditions.
- No repeat occurrences - Reportable accidents and high potential near misses are investigated to determine the details and causes. The findings and necessary steps to prevent recurrence are disseminated and implemented.
- Maintain Safety Standards - We have adopted a common set of safety standards throughout the Group. Management at all levels is responsible for implementing and enforcing these standards.
Our objective is to prevent injury to our employees, learning from past incidents through encouraging an open, blame-free culture for better safety management and to attain our “zero incidents” goal.
STOP WORK AUTHORITY Program – STOP any work that is UNSAFE
For these principles to be most effective, it is everyone’s responsibility to look out for fellow workers and speak up when observing unsafe activity. Everyone has the authority to stop work until it is safe without the risk of repercussions.
These Safety Principles define our safety culture, behaviours and performance standards, and, in so doing, assist us in our progress towards eliminating injuries in our workplace.



Our Safety Policy
Our managers and supervisors are accountable for the safety of our people and are expected to provide effective leadership in safety. Management of every business or operation is responsible for following the Safety Principles and implementing and maintaining the Safety Standards. We set appropriate objectives against which to monitor progress toward zero incidents. All employees are responsible for good safety behaviour and it is only by working together and recognizing that we all have a part to play in safety that we will really make a difference.
