As an industrial company, the safety of all staff is not only a priority, it is the company’s main concern.
At the end of every shift, all employees must return home, to their loved ones, safely – this means physically unharmed and mentally strong.
Our goal is to ensure the health and wellbeing of every single employee, contractors, customers, and the surrounding communities.
Kevin Morgan, Logoplaste’s Global Director for EHS, explains how the Cardinal Rules help achieve this non-negotiable objective:
At Logoplaste, our Cardinal Rules stand as fundamental pillars in fostering a culture of safety across all environments. These rules serve as guiding principles aimed at preventing accidents and incidents, while at the time promoting wellbeing.
Central to our safety ethos is the recognition of both individual responsibility and collective teamwork. All employees at Logoplaste bear the duty to prioritize safety in their actions, understanding that no task is worth risking injury. Simultaneously, we emphasize the importance of peer-to-peer safety, encouraging everyone to watch out for each other's safety.
Adherence to the Cardinal Rules is paramount. By consistently upholding these principles, we not only safeguard our own welfare but also contribute to the safety of our colleagues and the workplace at large.
Emphasizing both individual responsibility and collective teamwork reinforces the message that safety is a shared commitment. It fosters active participation, instills a sense of accountability, and cultivates a safer and healthier environment for all.
At Logoplaste, safety is not just a priority—it's a collective responsibility we uphold with unwavering dedication.

Global EHS Director
Our continuous OHS improvement is based on 6 fronts:
The QEHS policy describes our vision and provides a framework for developing our management systems. The policy is reviewed annually and approved by our CEO. All sites communicate this policy with their teams and develop suitable action plans.
All our plants comply with OHS management systems’ legal requirements for full-time, temporary and agency employees. To further continue our safety standardization, we have been gradually certifying sites according to ISO 45001 international standard, starting with those that have the highest number of employees. In 2022 as part of our Digital Operation strategy, we developed a standardized internal audit and inspection module. This creates standard audit and inspections across all plants and enable these processes to be digitalized (no manual records).
We use a risk assessment process that identifies hazards in the workplace which are then analyzed by the plant managers and their teams. Together, they develop and implement immediate safety systems and action plans.
Each site holds regular meetings with all team members. The sessions address local performance, improvement plans, accidents, and potential changes in the workplace. Meeting minutes and action plans are posted.
The use of safety hazard (unsafe conditions*) reporting is key in employee engagement, enabling teams to identify hazards, making the workplace safer. Since 2022 we use a standardized reporting system to record safety hazards via our EHS intranet page.
*An unsafe condition is anything with the potential to cause harm, injury and/or damage.
Training needs are clearly identified in the Global Training Matrix and all Logoplaste employees receive regular training suited to their role.
Training is delivered in the workplace during working hours whenever possible. Training effectiveness is measured through on-the-job tasks and simulations.
Logoplaste's Executive Safety Council's goal is to reduce incidents, injuries, illnesses, and ensure that all facilities have the safest and healthiest environment possible for its employees.
With representatives from various areas, the ESC meets once a month and ensures decisions are implemented and followed through.
