How we put our safety first culture into practice
At Wallenius Wilhelmsen, safety is woven into everything we do. It’s not just a policy, but a way of life that keeps our teams protected, our services reliable, and our operations running smoothly.
We take our responsibility seriously by providing clear guidelines, effective training, and a genuine commitment to a secure workplace. Our teams in terminals, processing centers, and offices are our greatest strength, and we want everyone to return home safe and sound.
Safety is built into every level of our company. We encourage open communication, invest in thorough training, and empower everyone to voice their concerns. This approach shapes daily decisions, from management to the site floor, so everyone is on the same page.
While digital tools help us spot safety issues quickly, it’s our employees’ hands-on involvement that truly makes a difference.
All employees are involved in the job safety analysis process
Safety and quality go “hand-in-hand”
At our terminals and processing centers, teams conduct routine walk-throughs to identify potential hazards before work begins. These inspections help us spot concerns like slip and trip risks, equipment issues, or blocked emergency exits, to ensure that corrective actions are taken before they can become incidents.
Before starting any shift or new task, teams gather for short safety briefings. These sessions give everyone a chance to discuss the work ahead, review safety procedures, and raise any concerns.
We empower employees to speak up immediately if they notice unsafe conditions or near-misses. For example, if a vehicle is not secured properly or a piece of equipment malfunctions, the issue is reported right away so teams can work together to resolve it quickly and safely.
By prioritizing safe practices, we not only protect our people but also reduce product damage and cut down on waste. Getting things right the first time boosts team morale and demonstrates the value of quality in every aspect of our work.
Safety and quality go hand-in-hand at our sites. Our culture values attention to detail and open dialogue, ensuring consistency and reducing mistakes. This teamwork keeps our standards high and our processes dependable.
We’re proud of our progress but always look for ways to improve. Our commitment is to make the workplace not just safer, but also more enjoyable for everyone.
