Safety and well-being

At Atlas Copco Group, we work continuously to reinforce our culture of safety and well-being. Our high standards and targets reinforce these efforts. 

Our safety and well-being targets

We are committed to ensuring that our employees and others affected by our operations work in a way that contributes to their safety and well-being. Transparent reporting is encouraged and helps build awareness of risks and safe behavior preventing injuries in the workforce.

Safety and well-being are core priorities at Atlas Copco Group. We pursue this by engaging everyone in eliminating hazards, reducing occupational health and safety risks and promoting the immediate reporting of near-misses, incidents, and risk observations

Interest in employees' well-being

Progress is measured by continuous safety reporting and follow-up, and in the employee engagement survey every two years. The target is that an increasing part of employees should agree that Atlas Copco Group takes a genuine interest in their well-being. The results from the 2021 employee survey confirm this.

The safety pyramid

To further strengthen the safety work Atlas Copco Group measures progress by using a safety pyramid, with the target that the pyramid should be balanced. This means that more reports of risk observations than near misses, more near misses than minor injuries, and more or equal reports of minor injuries relative to recordable injuries are reported. The approach supports transparent reporting, risk awareness and encourages safe behavior to decrease risks and ultimately prevent workforce injuries. In 2022, the result was in line with this target. 

We give all stakeholders the possibility to openly discuss our safety performance and ways of improving the working conditions. Another key focus is on improving our customers’ safety and health when they are using our products.
