“The protection of workers’ health and safety is considered a success factor of equal rank to the high quality of the products manufactured by Elektrovent for achieving company’s objectives”.

The Management of Elektrovent S.r.l. always takes this principle into consideration in the definition of company’s choices and objectives, since it is its own will to operate in compliance with the principles of safeguarding the health and safety of workers and people involved in the company’s activities.

The Management is aware that some operations performed to exercise its activity may have some risk characteristics for the person, whether a worker or another individual on the worksite.
