Safety first

It starts with us.

Safety has always been at the forefront of our work at LKAB. The concept safety first began in 1943, and in 2006 we updated it under the title Safety First. Today, we are revising its core principles and implementing them across our team of employees and suppliers. The first step starts with us.

Leading the change in safety

For us at LKAB, ensuring a safe and secure work environment that promotes the health and well-being of all who work within our operations is fundamentally important. 
Everyone who works for us and with us has the full right to work in an environment that is safe and sound. At the same time, each and everyone of us are accountable for work environment management which enable safe conditions.

Safety first for our external suppliers

What is at the core of Safety first? 

Safety first is both a statement and a framework for LKAB’s health and safety environment in the workplace. Every day, around the clock, we work together with suppliers to ensure safety is put first. Within our health and safety compliance, we have four target areas: Safety, Health, Well-being and Inclusion. Additionally, we have six golden rules – these are the recommended practices we expect from anyone that works with us at LKAB. We also have a shared structure for management of our health and safety in the workplace program.
