Health and Safety (H&S) is at the heart of everything we do at Imerys Greece. It is part of who we are, how we behave and of the choices we make every day. But we want to go further!
We are committed to building a stronger H&S culture for all our business operations – for today, tomorrow and many more years – through what we call “Safer Together”. Through Safer Together, we actively encourage our people to be positive towards H&S, to take responsibility for their choices, to look after each other and to always put H&S above everything else.
Safer Together is a project with which we want:
All employees and contractors are invited to participate in events and workshops where through presentations / video projections and interactive actions they are informed about safety issues that concern both their work and personal life. It is also an opportunity to strengthen the relations between the employees as issues of common interest are presented with direct and indirect relation to the object of work.

Safer, Together! All employees are invited to participate in events and workshops where through presentations / video projections and interactive actions they are informed about safety issues that concern both their work and personal life.
