dss+ Testimonials

“When we started the programme we were very ambitious. We wanted to be able to carry out our own assessments, like DuPont. DSS trained co-assessors during workshops so that we can do that. We now have 20 trained VELUX safety assessors, all from local sites, who are becoming extremely accomplished in making safety assessments. In addition, they also act as skilled local change agents. And we now speak the same safety language throughout the company. We can talk to and understand each other from Denmark to Poland, Russia, China and the USA. We know exactly what is meant by a ‘safety walk’ and “safety contact” wherever that may be in the world. With the Safety Excellence Programme the VELUX Group has a common system to deal with common issues. This gives us the confidence that safety improvements will be sustainable across the board.”

“I’m very happy about the positive development in our safety performance. Our founder formulated the ambition to be a model company that treats its employees better than most other companies. It is therefore natural for us to have safety as a focus area. I would like to stress that even though good safety performance is good business, safety is important to us because of our employees. I can see an improvement in our safety culture, but we have not reached our target yet, so our safety journey towards the goal of zero accidents will continue.”
