- protect the health of all employees by providing a safe and healthy working environment
- provide all necessary resources for the continuous improvement of the occupational health and safety management system, taking into account the needs and expectations of workers and other interested parties in accordance with their own context;
- to continuously train, improve and educate employees and thus ensure better competencies of employees and spread awareness of occupational health and safety
