Afterwards, accidents will be processed in collaboration with the employer’s liability insurance association and, if necessary, additional accident prevention measures will be initiated.

Employee safety has top priority at KABELSCHLEPP. Therefore, personal protective equipment, realted to the specific occupational activity, is provided to each employee free of charge.
