Norske Skog has confirmed that its Saugbrugs site has now gone for one year without any injuries causing absence, a significant achievement in a complex industrial environment with nearly 370 employees, including 30 apprentices.
This milestone builds on a long-standing commitment to health and safety. Over the last eight years, only two absence injuries have been recorded. Even more impressively, Saugbrugs had zero absence injuries for a full five-year period between 2017 and 2022.
“Our focus on health, safety and environment is deeply embedded in everything we do,” says Lisa Beate Grimstad, Director of Health, Environment, Safety and Quality at Saugbrugs. “We work continuously to improve working conditions and ensure that everyone – whether new apprentice or experienced operator – returns home safely every day.”
Saugbrugs holds ISO 45001 certification and actively implements Norske Skog’s “Take Care 24/7” safety programme.
