The safety of employees, visitors and neighbors is the top priority at LANXESS production sites. That is why health protection, occupational safety and the safety of plants are all subject to stringent standards. LANXESS goes to great lengths to ensure that potential risks are minimized from the outset and that hazards are averted. Employees are given intensive training on how to handle hazardous substances and operate plants safely. Moreover, LANXESS employs dedicated professional safety experts who have cutting-edge technology at their fingertips. It is their job to regularly check safety standards at sites, devise alarm and emergency response plans and carry out drills. They are tasked with identifying potential weaknesses early on and preventing health risks and pollution in the event that an unavoidable incident such as a fire or product leak should occur.
Targeted education for good neighborly relations
At the German sites in Leverkusen, Dormagen and Krefeld-Uerdingen, LANXESS works with its service partner CURRENTA on safety issues. With many years of experience and advanced technologies, the company plays a key role in protecting people and facilities. CURRENTA also focuses on education, for example by distributing safety leaflets to private households located near the sites. These leaflets include information on the high safety standards in place at the plants and also provide important tips about what to do should an incident occur. This reinforces trust in the chemicals industry and helps to prevent hazards.
