World Health Day 2025: Focus on Occupational Safety at NETZSCH
April 7 marks World Health Day – a global awareness day initiated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to highlight key issues in public health. At NETZSCH Grinding & Dispersing, this topic is more than just a date on the calendar: health and safety in the workplace are essential parts of our daily actions – worldwide.
A key element of our corporate culture is the EHS principle: Environment, Health and Safety. This stands for the protection of the environment, health, and occupational safety throughout the company. Our goal is not only to prevent accidents, illness, and hazards, but to create a consistently safe, responsible, and sustainable working environment – for all employees, at all locations.

Knowledge is the foundation of safety
To meet this commitment, we rely on structured processes – particularly when it comes to risk assessments, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and regular safety instruction. These trainings help identify risks, avoid them, and respond appropriately in case of emergency. PPE such as helmets, hearing protection or safety shoes are not only required in many areas – they are part of our daily routine.
Mental health deserves attention
Occupational safety is not just about physical risks – mental well-being plays an equally important role. A respectful work culture, clear structures, healthy leadership, and the opportunity to seek support when needed are important elements of psychological safety. Our goal is to create a work environment where people feel safe, valued, and heard.
"Safety is not an extra - it is our standard."
This statement reflects our understanding: occupational safety is not an add-on, but a fundamental requirement for a safe and healthy working environment.
