BJ-Gear A/S is characterised by an unpretentious and respectful tone in the organisation, a high level of information and a high degree of employee responsibility. We have always had a high employee seniority which is largely attributed the good working atmosphere in the workplace.
Education and training
We support the employees who wish to acquire new knowledge and deal with a wider range of tasks. We provide the necessary professional qualification. For production workers this could for instance be truck certificates or specialised courses in programming and operating CNC machines. Training is often done as job training where experienced colleagues provide a thorough instruction in the processes and functions.
To ensure a greater flexibility and overlap by absence, we work with a Cross Training Matrix describing the overall skills of the employees. This matrix is used simultaneously as a management tool for the training and upgrading of employees.
Good and healthy working environment
From administration to production, we have arranged for an ergonomic and environmentally friendly design of workplaces, which meet the minimum requirements of working environment legislation (OSH Act.)
A large number of cranes are thus carrying out the heavy lifting in the production. For the final finish of the gearboxes we use only environmentally friendly water-based coating. In addition, we have invested in an efficient process ventilation that virtually eliminates any harmful emission into the air. 99.8% of the coolants are intercepted by filters and led back into the machinery. As an added benefit, we are thus largely recycling cutting oils and cutting coolants. Where possible, centrifuged metal shavings for cutting oil automatically return to the machining centers for recycling. Noise insulated compartments and machinery also ensure very low noise levels in and around the company.
BJ-Gear A/S supports a healthy working environment in many different areas through eg.:
- A modern gym available for employees.
- Massage
- Prohibition of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs in the company.
Employees play an active role in improving the physical and mental health, taking place in everyday communication, but also through the ongoing Work Site Evaluation.
Our work environment organisation (AMO) contributes to creating a safe and healthy work environment.
Safety and first aid
At BJ-Gear A/S we meet all legal requirements for safety in connection with for example guarding of the machinery and handling of dangerous substances.
We have an internal team of Samaritans who can give first aid in case of accidents. The Emergency Preparedness also includes a defibrillator which can not only save lives in our company, but in the neighbouring businesses and for other neighbours. Our defibrillator is part of a nationwide list of defibrillators being available in emergencies.
An automatic fire alarm system with sensors in every room is connected directly to the local fire brigade. It ensures instant reaction to fire and reduces the risk of serious injuries to people, buildings, furnitures, machines and products. We also make sure that the employees via loudspeakers are automatically warned about fire and asked to leave the building.
BJ-Gear A/S' management, the safety representatives and the safety committee are continuously working in order to further improve the security.
