Working environment
We want all employees to be offered a safe and healthy working environment
At Royal Greenland, we want to create a good framework for all employees in a safe and healthy working environment that contributes to a proud work culture.
Risks and opportunities
For some work roles, fisheries can be physically very demanding. The work might involve heavy lifting, working at a filleting machine and moving boxes, and in fisheries, hauling the filled trawl nets onto the ship's deck. Furthermore, filleting involves using sharp knives.
Risks
- There is a risk of physical strain, due to heavy lifting, cold and draughts, as well as slippery floors, cf. the latest workplace assessment report
- Risk of psychosocial strain and reduced well-being
Opportunities
- More automated processes to eliminate heavy lifting
- Proactive action on identified issues, in cooperation with local working environment committees and representatives
- Registration of near-misses and effective action
We can see great potential in promoting a good and uniform working environment by taking a systematic approach that is described in a simple overall working environment system for the Group. Uniform procedures can be set up, and tools can be created that are adapted to local conditions. This will give transparency and ensure a uniform approach across the Group.
