  To this end, we involve our employees in all areas of quality and environmental protection as well as occupational health and safety. As one of the most attractive employers in the north, a corporate culture that benefits all employees is one of our most important goals.

• Occupational health and safety

  At the seaport of Wismar, we ensure a healthy working environment – literally: we are committed to the well-being of our employees, service providers and suppliers through active health management and regular instruction on occupational safety. For us, health is a particularly valuable asset. Last but not least, it forms the foundation for the performance of our entire team.

  As part of our occupational health and safety program, we raise awareness of issues such as

  • observing and ensuring order and cleanliness at work
  • avoiding unnecessary hazards for our employees and third parties
  • following all instructions on occupational health and safety
  • compliance with prohibitions and rules (e.g. the ban on alcohol and drugs and the ban on smoking in areas or vehicles that are not expressly permitted or marked)
  • the intended use and careful handling of the personal protective equipment provided
  • checking and using all work equipment as intended before each use by visually inspecting it for safe condition and suitability
