Safety is everyday work

Our top priority is to provide our personnel and our customers a safe working environment. We have a thorough process for preventing accidents, extending from the preparation to implementation and to the finalisation of a project. The process covers risk assessments, liability concerns, training of our employees, co-workers and our customers' staff to ensure safe and environmentally benign handling of machines and chemicals.

Continuous quality control and ensuring the operating safety of our machinery are critical in all of our actions. We ensure that our equipments meets the latest safety standards and train our customers to use the equipment. By investing in safety we do not only enhance our own business operations, but also improve the safety of the construction industry in general.

Ramirent compiles statistics on accidents systematically. Even all near-miss situations must be reported. This is essential in preventing further accidents, as a similar situation might occur anywhere. Accident rate is also one of the indicators for our managers' bonus system.

We develop our personnel also during challening times

Entrepreunial spirit and motivated personnel guarantee the quality and flexibility of our operations. Our "Rami spirit" is based on responsibility, entrepreneurial spirit, honesty, openness and customer focus. We invest in the development of personnel's skills and pay continuous attention to job satisfaction. We continued to invest in these areas also during 2009 despite having to reduce our staff in a challenging market situation. Our employees participate regularly in internal and external product trainings as well as first aid and safety trainings. We want to ensure that the skills and know-how of our staff in the rental locations remain at a high level.
