A WELL- ORGANISED WORKPLACE WHICH PUTS SAFETY FIRST IS ESSENTIAL. At Lidl, we are firmly committed to maintaining the quality of our health and safety-at-work controls through reviews, continuous assessment, strong and meaningful communication methods and by raising awareness. We operate an effective Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Management System which guides and protects our employees by tracking and recording all incidents on a system. Once added, an investigation is carried out and a summary saved on our management tracker. This system is not currently accredited to ISO but is on track for accreditation to ISO 45001 by 2020. All employees are provided with full terms and conditions of employment that are continually reviewed and updated to reflect best practice and any new changes to employment law. Our dedicated health and safety department works closely with our international teams and stakeholders to ensure that all health and safety standards are met and supported in every department and by all our employees. Additionally, we enforce a strict Dignity at Work policy which helps to safeguard employees from any incidents of bullying, harassment or discrimination.
