A health and safety plan has been elaborated to protect employees and material goods within our premises, according to current safety standards and in compliance with legislations. Precise procedures have been implemented and secured work methods have been put into practice. Every precaution is taken to minimize all risks of accidents, injuries or illnesses, and possible damage to the installations that could harm personnel in any way.
Health & Safety & Well-being_Sport bag En_Cedarome

Cedarome’s health and safety committee is composed of employees from all areas of operations. Designated responders are assigned and trained to intervene in case of an emergency. This vital training is updated on an annual basis.

Cedarome promotes the physical and mental health of its employees with an onsite well equipped gym, a massage therapist and access to a psychologist.

To create and maintain a good work atmosphere, a spirit of inclusiveness is fostered. Social activities are organized inside and outside of work. Lunchtime tournaments composed of players from different departments serve as team building exercises. Regularly at the weekly communal lunch, employees volunteer to help in the preparation, or bring a dish from home to share. The latter, an international potluck allows co-workers to discover each other’s cultural heritage.
