The roots of safety-conscious thinking and a sense of responsibility go back to the founding years of the company. Karl Kremsmueller repeatedly pointed out to his management team, for how many persons the company actually bore responsibility. An accident can often be decisive for the destiny of an entire family. With this basic attitude, the pioneering work of the initial years was accompanied by pathbreaking initiatives in the framework of safety at work.
The ‘safety net’ stretched from the use of the first professional safety shoes and from health projects, up to the “analogue Intranet” called the Safety Board. The latter was developed to impart standardised and professionally prepared information in very quick time to a maximum of employees. A systematic safety system was introduced by Kremsmueller as early as in 1990. Seven years later, the international SCC System was introduced – at that time, as the first company in Austria in any sector.
