SAFETY

WORKING SAFER BY WORKING TOGETHER Safety is at the very core of our manufacturing excellence, and is an integral part of our industry leadership and performance. At General Cable, we know a safe and healthy environment for associates around the world is critical. The best way to provide it? By working together to eliminate or manage all conditions and behaviors that could lead to personal injury or occupational illness.

In the past, we have focused primarily on preventing injuries by engineering solutions to address inherent risks such as reel handling assist devices, revamped machine guards, sound abatement and eliminating open-blade knife use. While we continue to evaluate engineering solutions to reduce risks, we are also training our associates on “consequence thinking” to further enhance our safety culture and remind associates to reduce unintended consequences by eliminating unsafe behaviors.
