Safety awareness day at C.J. Hendriks puts people first

C.J. Hendriks hosted its 2026 Safety Awareness Day with a clear message: safety is about people, not paperwork.

The event moved beyond traditional procedures, focusing instead on how employees respond in real-life situations. Through interactive sessions, including emergency response exercises, prevention team activities, and realistic scenarios, staff were encouraged to think, act, and learn together.

The goal was not just to build knowledge, but to strengthen awareness and decision-making in critical moments.

Organisers emphasised that in high-pressure situations, it is human judgment, not written protocols, that makes the difference.

The day also highlighted the company’s ongoing commitment to embedding safety as a core part of its culture rather than treating it as a requirement.

Special recognition was given to Bianca Snoek for her leadership in organising the event.

By investing in its people, C.J. Hendriks continues to reinforce a culture of shared responsibility and collective growth.
