At Protergon, our most valuable asset is our people. Recognizing the demands and challenges of technical projects, we have proceeded to provide all of our field workers with new, certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Full Compliance with PPE Legislation
This move is not simply a routine equipment renewal process. It represents strict compliance with current Greek and European legislation on Health and Safety at Work (Government Gazette 220/A’ 19.12.1994).
All new PPE provided (helmets, safety footwear, high-visibility clothing, special-specification gloves, etc.) bear the necessary CE certifications and meet the strictest international standards (ISO/EN). In this way, we ensure that every task, no matter how demanding, is performed within the framework set by safety regulations.
Adopting a holistic approach, we have provided all employees with certified training in emergency first aid and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and have invested in fully equipped first aid kits.
Our Corporate Policy: “Safety First”
“For Protergon, safety is non-negotiable. Investing in the best equipment is the least we can do to honor the professionalism of our technicians who are in the field every day.”
Beyond legal obligations, this initiative is at the core of Protergon’s Corporate Health and Safety Policy. Our goal is to create and maintain a zero-accident culture.
Statement from the Safety Officer
“Strict compliance with legislation and the adoption of the highest international standards are the cornerstone of our operations. By supplying new certified PPE, we ensure that all technical work is carried out under optimal protection conditions, eliminating risks and safeguarding the health of our employees.”
