With the help of our products, solutions and services, our customers not only enhance safety but also improve the efficiency and productivity of their operations.

Our target is for everyone to return home safely, every day. We seek to achieve our objectives through strategic, Group-led programs and business-specific initiatives. Careful safety reporting and follow-up procedures help us build a coherent safety culture, recognize our most significant risks, and validate the effectiveness of our safety work. Safety is an integral part of our business, and prioritizing it in all areas of our operations brings us a competitive advantage. Our occupational health and safety principles are defined in the Code of Conduct and in our Quality, Environmental, Health and Safety policies, and we have several safety management tools and global practices in place. There are considerable occupational health and safety risks in the material handling industry. Our most significant safety risks are related to factory work, vehicle incidents crane and equipment installation, and the service business, where our technicians’ working conditions vary from job to job. All Konecranes employees are properly trained to perform their tasks safely and correctly. The company follows incidents and hazards through management systems, the ARMOR reporting system and the AIR product compliance management system, as well as through customer feedback collected after each major delivery. Konecranes has set a target to get all manufacturing units certified against OHSAS/ISO 45001 by the end of 2021. Currently we are 68.5 % OHSAS/45001 certified. Safety performance is discussed monthly in the Group and BA leadership meetings, including SIF cases. From 2020 onwards we changed our main lag KPI from LTA1 (lost-time incident rate) to TRI (total recordable incident rate). The aim is to capture a wider picture of what our safety performance looks like by including all injuries requiring professional medical treatment in our performance evaluation. We also report and follow up on contractor incidents in our reporting system, but those are not included in our incident rate.
