The global VAE-HSE-Guidebook & Software for systematic risk assessment

The holding company VAE, based in Zeltweg, Austria, has a staff of about 80 people. It is responsible for coordinating and managing the VAE group, which comprises 38 production sites with some 4,200 employees on six continents (18 sites within the EU). One of the major challenges in taking a common approach was the differences in the levels of safety at work and health protection in the different countries in which the subsidiaries are based.
