People are Vossloh‘s most valuable resource. They provide essential services for the company and are the basis for Vossloh‘s future success. For this reason, occupational health and safety is a high priority at Vossloh, alongside the duty of care and applies to all employees and all persons on the company premises. The corporate policy on occupational health and safety sets out Vossloh‘s commitment to continuous improvement in this area, the company‘s zero-accident target, the guiding principles and other binding requirements. In terms of a structured and sustainable management system for occupational health and safety, the company strives to ensure that as many areas as possible comply with the internationally recognized standard ISO 45001, which replaces the previously more common standard OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System and Safety Assessment Series). The proportion of operating companies with corresponding certification at the end of 2024 was 76 % (previous year: 81 %). These units employed 84 % of Vossloh’s workforce (previous year: 89 %). The slight decline is due to the companies acquired during the course of the year that do not yet have the relevant certification. Vossloh’s fundamental aim is to certify new units that join the Group to ISO 45001 as quickly as possible.
