The business unit Engineered Products of Beaulieu International Group has announced it achieved “excellent safety results” for the production sites of its Beaulieu Fibres International division, on the occasion of International Safety Day 2017.

According to the company, the Fibres division has no recorded accidents at its Terni, Italy site in the last two years, or during the last 20 months at its Belgian sites.

The BU Beaulieu Engineered Products says it is committed to achieving similar strong safety performance in its Yarns and Technical Textiles divisions and has now fully launched a customised behaviour-based safety programme at three specific production sites in Belgium and France. This B.I.G. Behave Safely programme aims to minimise the number and severity of accidents and incidents.

Initiatives in progress

Initiatives in progress actively involve employees in workshops, training events and coaching sessions on safety rules and instructions. In addition, an awareness-raising poster campaign draws daily attention to the importance of behaving safely.

“Beaulieu International Group is very serious about safety and has a Global Safety Policy that strives to offer a safe working environment to all employees. Improving safety behaviour is a continuous priority and the Engineered Products Business Unit has taken this to heart,” commented Karena Cancilleri, Vice President BU Engineered Products.

“We are excited to make a proactive contribution with B.I.G. Behave Safely and look forward to the positive impact of having our production teams for Beaulieu Yarns and Beaulieu Technical Textiles on board, to keep up the momentum of our Fibres division.”
