<\/p>\nNokian Tyres has reported a record year in safety at its Finnish factory, which has earned ISO 45001 certification for occupational health & safety.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ISO 45001 is a certification which has been created to further reduce workplace injuries and illnesses. The standard was published in 2018 by the International Organization for Standardization.<\/p>\n
The certification has also been awarded to the premier provider of wheels for heavy OE and aftermarket applications, Levypy\u00f6r\u00e4, which Nokian Tyres acquired in 2019.<\/p>\n
The Nokian Tyres\u2019 accident frequency dropped to a record low: its LTIF number was down from 4.3 in 2019 to 3.7 in 2020.<\/p>\n
This is the number of lost time from injuries occurring in a workplace per one million hours worked.<\/p>\n
Nokian also says more than 17,000 safety actions were created in 2020. This means that thousands of working hours were used to identify, correct and solve safety hazards.<\/p>\n
In 2020, Levypy\u00f6r\u00e4 and Vianor AB celebrated one year without lost-time accidents (accidents leading to absence).<\/p>\n
In January 2021, Nokian Heavy Tyres celebrated a year without lost-time accidents<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat makes me very glad when looking back at 2020, is the fact that with a lot of safety dedication and hard work from all of us, we have made our working environment safer,\u201d says Jukka Rikkinen, Head of Global Safety at Nokian Tyres.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will reach continuous improvement by keeping safety in mind and making safety actions every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2015, Nokian Tyres set a sustainability target to improve safety at work by 70 per cent. The target was met and exceeded in 2020, as the LTIF number was reduced by 73 per cen (2015: 13.9). It now says the goal for 2021 is to improve safety by decreasing LTIF by 20 per cent compared to 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
