Maintain health and safety at work
Today's companies face increasingly complex and evolving health and safety challenges. To meet these challenges, it is essential to develop a culture of risk prevention within the company.
At Apave, we are convinced that taking health and safety at work into account is a performance driver for companies. Reducing the number of work-related accidents and illnesses has a direct impact on the absenteeism rate and the direct and indirect costs of employees absent from the company. Apave can help you integrate the health and safety dimension as a corporate value, in the same way as production or quality.
