ENVIRONMENT & SAFETY
Of course
meets all the latest environmental and safety conditions. In our line
of business the legislation on this field is very strict and the government
carefully watches the commitment to these rules. However, we are also
aware of our own responsibility since a healthy and safe environment
is in everybody’s interests. Therefore we are always looking
for ways to produce even more ecologically sound and safe.
Environment
As a part of this policy we try to reduce the amount of paint
spraying whenever this is possible. Powdering
then is an appropiate alternative. When powdering there is made no
use of solvents, in contrast with paint spraying. This way the emission
as well as the dangerous waste is reduced to practically none. By
doing this, we are also ahead of the by the
European Union imposed prescription about the emission of volatile
organic substances (VOS-decision). Of course there will always be
products which have to be paint sprayed. A good example are materials
which can not cope with the high temperatures that are needed in the
oven when something is powdered. To make sure that the possible pollution
involved with this necessary paint spraying is minimized, we have
taken all kinds of measures: liquidproof floors, excellent exhaust
hoods, regular maintenance work and transport of dangerous waste by
authorised companies. Above that, our employees keep up-to-date in
this field by taking courses..
Safety
Safety also is a hot issue nowadays. Therefore the rules on this matter
are very strict. These rules concern not only safety for the neighbourhood,
but for the employees as well. We do everything we can to optimize
the working conditions and to make sure that everybody works as safe
and healthy as possible. In this area too, the reducing of paint spraying
and the stimulating of powdering means an improvement, because of
the reducement of solvents. |
