Our 10 Life Saving Rules

As a family-run business, it is very important to us that everyone feels safe and works in an environment where health and safety is a prerequisite in all our activities. Together, we ensure a safe and healthy working environment and prevent injuries and accidents.

Royal A-ware has developed ten Life Saving Rules that help prevent injuries and accidents. This is our basis for safe and healthy working. It is therefore vital that everyone working at our sites knows and applies the ten Life Saving Rules.
