Safety at Work

Why?

Autoliv’s vision of Saving More Lives applies as much to our workplaces as to our products. Autoliv is committed to providing safe working conditions for our employees and contractors. We start with the principle that work-related injuries and illnesses are preventable and seek to operate our business to avoid causing injury or ill health to employees, contractors, and other interested parties.

 Our Commitments

  • We comply with applicable occupational health and safety legislation.
  • We continually improve our occupational health and safety management system and the maturity of our Autoliv health and safety culture.
  • We identify workplace hazards and assess the associated risks. By applying the hierarchy of health and safety control measures, we aim to eliminate hazards where possible and manage any significant risks to prevent injury or ill health. Risk assessments will be reviewed whenever circumstances change.
  • We promote continuous improvement in health and safety performance, set clear targets and objectives, and provide an appropriate framework for reviewing objectives and occupational health and safety performance against them.
  • We provide instruction, training, and supervision to enable employees and others on our premises to avoid hazards and make a positive contribution to their own and others’ health and safety at work.
  • We consult with and involve employees and other interested parties in continually improving occupational health and safety at Autoliv.
  • Accountability for occupational health and safety rests with Autoliv’s leadership. Managers have a primary responsibility for ensuring compliance with Autoliv’s occupational health and safety standards.
