SAFETY IN THE SPOTLIGHT
KONE has organized a global Safety
Week for all employees annually
since 2012. As most accidents are
caused by the things that people
don’t worry about because they
seem too minor and too familiar, the
week-long event focuses on paying
attention to the little things that
matter when it comes to safety.
