Health and safety in UPM Specialty Papers

Safety and wellbeing have a direct influence on employee engagement and onwards into product quality. That is why every UPM Specialty Papers employee is covered by UPM’s global One Safety tool. We have also implemented the OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management system in all our mills and offices. And we don’t limit our approach just to our own employees. We promote the safety and wellbeing of our contractors, visitors and all the people who are impacted by our operations.
