Health, Safety and Well-being fundamentals

At Ericsson, the health, safety, and well-being of everyone working for us or on our behalf is at the center of each decision we make. We strive for everyone to return home safe and well every day, and we are committed to providing a safe, healthy work environment for employees, supplier employees, and partners alike. Target Zero is our goal in health, safety, and well-being — a collective commitment to eliminate work-related fatalities, injuries, and illnesses. The Lifesaving Rules and Get Home Safely videos help embed safety into everyday actions, whether at the workplace or on the road. By working together, we can nurture a strong safety culture where everyone thrives.

Ericsson Lifesaving Rules

Ericsson has defined the fundamentals of safety in eight Lifesaving Rules that apply to everyone. These rules cover safe driving and seat-belt use, helmet use, alcohol and drug policies, use of personal protective equipment, designated drop zones, working at heights, and electrical safety while working.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO)'s Global Status Report on Road Safety (2023), road crashes kill approximately 1.19 million people annually and injure millions more. The "Get Home Safely" film promotes key preventative measures, attitudes and behaviors to minimize driving risk and protect drivers, passengers, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users.
