We work systematically to improve working conditions by making our machinery safer, conducting safety inspections and making sure that risk assessments are carried out if any changes are made to our operations.

The number of accidents with absence has decreased by almost 90% since 2015 and our long-term goal is to eliminate accidents completely.

Ovako aims for all employees to be healthy. We are working proactively to identify signs of illness at an early stage and to help employees with individualized solutions. Ovako has local health efforts in all of its locations, with a focus on leadership, health inspiration, wellness allowances, fitness opportunities and financial support for recreational clubs.
