“At Calderys, safety is part of our DNA, and our teams play a vital role in it. It's the foundation of how we work, how we lead, and how we care for one another. That's why we pause our daily routines today to focus on what truly matters: our health, our safety, and the safety of each others.”
Safe.Day 2025 edition: Calderys strengthens its Health & Safety culture globally
September 26, 2025 – Today, Calderys teams across the globe are pausing operations for a few hours to take part in the third edition of safe.day — a dedicated moment to reinforce our strong health and safety culture.
At all our industrial sites and offices, employees and contractors are stepping away from daily tasks to focus entirely on safety. This year’s theme, “Be a Safety Guide,” highlights the importance of leading by example and taking responsibility for the safety of ourselves and others.
Activities worldwide
Throughout the day, employees, contractors, and even sometimes customers on our installations are taking part in activities and workshops tailored to local needs. Highlights include:
-
A special video message from our CEO Michel Cornelissen, David Secret (Global Vice President, Operations Excellence), and site leaders to kick off the day.
-
Interactive workshops on key topics such as risk hunting, fatigue and addiction, and site-specific safety challenges.
-
For the first time, a worldwide safety knowledge contest, where sites across the globe compete in real time. The challenge tests both accuracy and speed, with a global winner to be announced.
-
A global internal webinar for colleagues who are unable to join on site, ensuring that everyone can be part of the experience.
“Safety begins with individual responsibility. By acting as a safety guide everyone contributes to a culture of care. Together, we can continue making safe choices, supporting one another, and remaining vigilant each day.”
The Calderys safe. program
Safe.day takes its name from the Calderys safe. program, launched in 2023 alongside the first edition of the safe.day, shortly after the creation of our combined Group. The program is built on four pillars that guide all our safety initiatives:
-
Safety First
-
Advancing Communication
-
Fostering Collaboration
-
Encouraging Ownership
Safe.day 2025 is another step forward in strengthening our culture where safety is a shared responsibility and a daily commitment.
