Our preventive protection concept is regularly reviewed, further developed and includes consultation with and participation of workers, and, where they exist, workers´ representation. All relevant KPI´s are reported to and overall decisions are made by management through to the executive management regularly. The implementation of the protective measures is supported by qualified safety experts.

We take actions to protect our employees

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risk assessments

OHS risk assessments are carried out worldwide to ensure that workplace-related risks that may cause harm to employees are identified and the protective measures required are implemented to minimize those risks. Risks are evaluated according to the Nohl risk matrix and action plan with quantified targets are prioritized according to STOP hierarchy. This means that, where possible, substitution and technical measures take precedence over organizational or personal measures.

In addition to work areas in production and other technical areas, office workplaces are analyzed to assess how they could be improved. As part of our preventive approach, we also focus on avoiding ergonomic illnesses.

Golden Rules of Safety

In the 2018 fiscal year we introduced the seven Golden Rules of Safety as part of our behavior-based safety program. In the 2022 fiscal year, we implemented this program at the locations formerly operated by Cypress. This preventive safety concept is reviewed and developed on a regular basis. Reports are then presented to management including selected members of the Management Board.

Information and training

In the area of fire prevention, we carried out regular safety training sessions and evacuation drills. That is part of our integrated actions to prepare and respond to emergency situations.

High standards lead to less accidents

We track our work-related accidents and calculate the Injury Rate (IR) and Lost Day Rate (LDR) to monitor workplace safety performance, identify trends, and implement preventive measures. For fiscal year 24/25 the Injury Rate (IR) was 1.36 and the Lost Day Rate (LDR) 20.34. For both rates, the calculation method changed (the multiplying factor is now 1,000,000h instead of 200,000h) in order to meet the CSRD requirements for reporting. 

Health Management

Health and satisfaction at the workplace are essential requirements for the development of individual performance capability that contribute to Infineon’s overall success.

With a particular view to maintaining and promoting the mental health of staff, the project “Well-being@work” was launched in 2012. The aim of this project is to analyze and document factors that lead to mental stress and strain as well as to derive measures for maintaining and promoting the health of our employees.

The project is run jointly with employee representatives. On the basis of a staff questionnaire, Infineon lists the factors which contribute to psychological stresses at the workplace and identify which preventive measures can be taken to counter them. The following individual aspects are considered in the analysis: work tasks, work organization, social conditions at the workplace and also workplace design.
