Health, Safety and Security in the ICL Group
As an international company with a diversified workforce, ICL Group places great emphasis on Occupational Health, Safety and Security (OHS&S). We have adopted a systematic approach to the way we manage this internally in ICL and towards our contractors, vendors and suppliers.

We focus on identifying, eliminating or controlling work-related hazards and other risks. It is our ambition to become industry leader in Occupational Health Safety & Employee Security (OHS&S) by:
Continuously work to sustain a health and safety culture
Demonstrating excellent working conditions and care for the environment
Requiring business conduct from suppliers which is compliant with set standards
Promoting OHS&S in all local markets in order to build a competitive edge
Systematic approach to OHS&S
ICL has one common approach to the way it works with OHS&S internally and towards contractors, vendors and suppliers. We work systematically to ensure continuous improved performance within this area and to nourish a strong Group culture. Key factors in this work are:
– implementation of an Integrated Management System
– ensure strong focus on Supply Chain Sustainability
– initiation of Group Environmental Programmes
OHS&S standard
ICL decided that all Business Units should comply with the internationally recognized standard, OHSAS 18001 for Occupational Health Safety & Employee Security. This standard has been implemented in all of our Business Units. With this standard in place all ICL’s Business Units shall continue to pursue a structured way of assessing and mitigating risks related to OHS&S with clear management involvement and direction.
ICL also works actively to include third party certifications under theOHSAS 18001 standard.
Our Performance and Preventive Work
ICL has established a comprehensive internal reporting system in order to monitor our OHS&S performance and progress, as well as to facilitate benchmarking towards our peers.
These are the key goals in our continuous efforts to support good and healthy working conditions for all under the OHSAS 18001 standard:
No serious injuries or deaths
No serious pollution of the environment
No breach of Human Rights
No fatal accidents
These goals are monitored on a quarterly basis, and are frequent being reported to management
In order to sustain improved OHS&S performance over time, ICL carries out required training and awareness programmes on OHS&S for employees and in-house contractors at local level. In addition to local training and awareness, ICL has developed a global Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) eLearning programme called ‘People First’.
