Health and Safety at Work

The Volkswagen Group attaches great importance to health protection and promotion for all our staff. This involves far more than simply preventing accidents at work and precautions against occupational sickness. Comprehensive health management ensures that employees remain fit and healthy. Prevention and provision are given a high priority. Various early diagnosis examinations, health promotion programmes and individual health coaching are available for the wellbeing of the workforce. Detailed information is provided about potential accident hazards at the workplace. With the declaration of social rights and industrial relations at Volkswagen, the company has expressly committed itself to the Group objective of guaranteeing healthy working conditions at all its sites.

Health protection
There is a wide range of health protection examinations available for all employees of the Group. These are supplemented by an array of information and advice about what every individual can do to stay fit and healthy.

Working safely
New scientific findings on the issue of safety at work are promptly implemented in the Volkswagen Group. The issue of accident prevention is a central element of our human resources policy.

Ability-matched workplaces
Innovative human resources concepts are required to accommodate members of staff with work restrictions that are critical with respect to their employment. The objective is to rationally integrate people and to keep them in the work process for as long as possible.
