Continuous quality control and ensuring the operating
safety of machinery are critical functions in the rental
sector. The identification and prevention of safety risks
are built into Ramirent’s operating processes; we train our
personnel continually in the safe use of machinery and in
passing this guidance on to our customers. We invest in
ensuring that our equipment meets the latest safety standards
and organise training to our customers about new and
improved methods to ensuring operator safety when using
the equipment and machinery. Investing in safety not only
enhances our own business operations, it also increases the
safety of the construction industry generally.

and ISO 14001 Environmental certificates in 2005. Ramirent
Finland also has a national RALA Competence certificate. 

Ramirent AS, the company operating in Norway,

objectives of the scheme are to reduce the rate of sickness
absence and the number of disability pensioners, and to

The overall goal of the scheme has recently been extended
to also include improving the recruitment into employment
of so-called vulnerable groups in the labour market, including
persons with an immigrant background. 

Ramirent AS adheres in its operations to the requirements
of the ISO 14001 environmental standard. The company’s
other operating processes have been certified via ASAS Sertifiering

sites.
