Karin Sandén Ahlqvist on creating a safety-first workplace

At Axelent AB, safety culture is more than just a concept—it’s a core value embedded in every aspect of the business. Karin Sandén Ahlqvist, CEO of Axelent AB, shares her thoughts on why safety culture is crucial for the company’s success and employee well-being.

We not only love what we do but also why we do it. We are passionate about making a real difference—delivering safety and creating work environments that provide security for individuals. Our goal is to make sure more people stay safe while at work. Our vision is to create the safest work environments in the world, and that applies not only to our customers but also to ourselves. Safety is our top priority in every situation,” says Karin Sandén Ahlqvist.

Safety Culture – An Investment for the Future

Axelent AB views safety culture as a key element of long-term success and sustainability. A strong safety culture not only protects employees and assets but also fosters a positive work environment that enhances well-being and productivity.

 
We firmly believe that a strong safety culture is essential for a company’s long-term success and sustainability. It not only ensures the protection of employees and assets but also creates a positive work environment that encourages both well-being and productivity. Fewer accidents and incidents also lead to lower costs for sick leave and production stoppages. There are only positive reasons to invest in a strong safety culture!” 


At Axelent AB, safety culture isn’t just about following rules—it’s about continuously improving, learning, and investing in employees' safety to create the safest work environments in the world.
