Risk & HSE is at the core of our business. All its aspects show in our products and embrace our employees, processes and communities in which we are located.
RISK & HSE
Today’s vehicles are equipped with numerous safety devises protecting people inside and outside the car. The car design includes ergonomic aspects for seating, active and passive safety devices including early warning systems and also embraces environmental issues in terms of emissions reduction. All aim at providing a safe, sustainable and efficient vehicle for millions of people. Our brake friction is also part of that complex system.
All aspects of Risk, Health, Safety and Environment are mirrored in our every day working life, our products and manufacturing processes. Our objective is to accomplish a safe, healthy, sustainable and efficient workplace for those working in or being affected by it; providing first class brake friction to customers around the world.
At TMD Friction we believe that a safety-relevant product should be produced in the safest way possible. The global Zero Accident Program (ZAP) is constantly promoting that idea.
Achieving this objective is an ongoing journey. At TMD Friction we are continuously striving to improve our Health and Safety performance as well as our environmental impact in whatever we do.
Each individual product leaving our premises is the result of successful teamwork across all our departments. At TMD Friction quality is more than fulfilling requirements; it is acting responsibly towards the millions of families around the world relying on the safety of our products.
