Since 2005, Arcadyan has implemented the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, establishing environmental health and safety policies and safety management procedures at each plant to control every workplace detail. The design of both software and hardware facilities in the office environment prioritizes employee safety. All entrances are equipped with access control card readers, restrooms have emergency push buttons, and each floor is equipped with AEDs (automated external defibrillators).
