Dyckerhoff Occupational Safety

Our main actors

Colleagues at Dyckerhoff

Marcel Jäckel – Deuna Cement Plant, Germany

Magazine manager

»I have been working for Dyckerhoff at the Deuna cement plant for more than 13 years. I completed my training here. Today I manage our warehouse and am responsible for issuing spare parts and checking and booking incoming goods. The goods must then also be stored, picked and receipts digitized.

By making myself available as a model, I would like to support the campaign. Everyone is responsible for their own safety, but of course we also look out for the safety of our colleagues so that everyone can go home safe and sound.«

Simone Klinkenberg – Dyckerhoff Basal Betonmortel B.V., Netherlands

Management Secretariat

»I have been working for 15 years as an employee in the secretariat of the management at Dyckerhoff Basal Betonmortel in Nieuwegein. My job is to support the management and the HR department.

In addition, I am also the contact person for colleagues at sites throughout the country.

It is very important to me that all colleagues come home healthy at the end of the day.«

Beowulf von Prince – Plant Group North, Germany

Occupational safety specialist

»Activities are constantly taking place in the Plant North group. As an occupational safety specialist, I am responsible together with my colleague for providing expert advice on all occupational safety issues.
I am responsible for both the technical protection of workers and as an interface in all areas of prevention.

It is my job to ensure that all protective equipment in our plant is state of the art and that all colleagues are informed about potential hazards in the workplace. This way, all employees can go home healthy at the end of the workday, just as they started it.«

Jan Syrový – ZAPA beton, Czech Republic

IT-Technician

»I work as an IT technician at ZAPA beton. My work includes not only the support of computer technology, but also the installation of data networks, camera systems and other equipment. What I enjoy most about my job is that, in addition to the normal daily routine of an IT employee, I also have the opportunity to visit our sites, so my work is never monotonous.

Since I often move around plants, at heights and near large machines, I know how important safety is in the workplace.«

Zuzana Žemličková – ZAPA beton, Czech Republic

Ecologist

»I have been working at ZAPA beton for almost twelve years and my current job position is the company’s ecologist. I am in charge of sustainability, energy consumption, handling of hazardous substances as well as environmental audits at all our sites. What I value most about my work is its diversity and also the contact with people at the plants.

I spend thousands of kilometers behind the wheel a year for my job. So I know that safety and caution at work are critically important.«

Vlastimil Suchý – Cement Hranice a.s., Czech Republic

Occupational safety and health technician

»I am an occupational safety and health technician and I am leading by example in the campaign. My job could be described as ordinary, but in occupational safety and health it’s different: it’s responsible work aimed at prevention.

In general, it can be said that accidents and injuries “do not follow the mountains”, but people. It follows: “Good, quality prevention is the way to return to the family free of injuries and healthy.«

Andrea Linton – Headquarters Wiesbaden, Germany

Employee Reception
»For 14 years, I’ve been one of the first people visitors to our headquarters in Wiesbaden meet, because everyone checks in with me. I make sure our visitors find their way to the right place. This means that I know all my colleagues, know in which area they work and in which buildings they are located. As the first point of contact for externals both by phone and email, my job never gets boring. I am happy that I can help people.It makes me feel good to work in a company that places such a high value on our safety.«

Paweł Krążek – Nowiny cement plant, Poland

Laboratory Manager

»I have been working at Dyckerhoff Polska since 2001, currently in the position of Laboratory Manager. My job is to supervise the employees of the cement laboratory.

I think that both the knowledge and the practices taught during the campaign play an important role in making employees aware of safety compliance and help them develop proper habits and attitudes.«

Mirko Cecchetto – Cimalux SA, Luxembourg

Laboratory technician

»I have been working as a laboratory technician at Cimalux for more than 35 years. I have a responsible task here: I monitor the chemical composition of the raw materials and the quality of the cements we produce with them. As glue in concrete, cement must have the right properties to ensure that bridges, houses and tunnels can stand up long and safely. I also maintain our automated laboratory, sample cements for their certification, and show school children and interested parties around our laboratory and plant.

Occupational safety is very important to me, as I am aware that misconduct can lead to very serious consequences, up to and including handicap or death. I believe accidents are often caused by hasty and rash actions.«

Michaela Skrobankova – Cement Hranice a.s., Czech Republic

Marketing expert

»At Cement Hranice, I work in the sales department as a marketing expert and at the same time as support for the sales team.

I’m not around the plant itself that often, where occupational safety is even more important. But we also have to pay attention to safety in our administrative building and during daily movement on the premises. And although it may seem like a cliché repeated a thousand times, nothing is more important than our health. Let us remember this every day.«

Thomas Konkel – Amöneburg Cement Plant, Germany

Day shift manager

»The cement plant in Wiesbaden-Amöneburg works around the clock. As day foreman, I am responsible for the smooth and safe production flow in the plant.

Most of the time, the colleagues are on shift duty in the production facilities on their own. It is therefore particularly important to me that my colleagues leave their workplace in good health at the end of their shift and return to their families without any injuries.”

Mirosław Wojciechowski – Zementwerk Nowiny, Polen

Mechanic in the maintenance team

“I have worked as a mechanic on the maintenance team for over 20 years. My duties include the maintenance of energy systems.

I believe our workplace safety campaign has raised workers’ awareness of workplace safety, how to deal with potential hazards and, most importantly, how to avoid them.”
