TenCate advanced armour france increases focus on employee safety

TenCate Advanced Armour France has recently undergone an internal improvement process to increase safety for all employees working in our Primarette facility in France. Although no major accidents or incidents have occurred at the site, the emphasis has been on pro-actively preventing potential risk to our employees.  Besides the risk of work accidents, TenCate Advanced Armour France has also developed a number of plans to manage severe incidents such as explosions, medical incidents, and key equipment failure under a combined Incident and Emergency Response Plan.

The primary emphasis on worker safety is a product of TenCate Advanced Armour’s reliance on a skilled and reliable work force. The dedicated workforce being our key resource were already working in a safe environment but with more focus we are focused on obtaining zero accidents in a very active manufacturing plant.
