Safety First: How medmix Protects People and Powers Production

At medmix, we believe that safe workplaces create strong businesses. Behind every innovation we deliver to our customers lies a commitment to protecting the people who make it possible.

We spoke with Michaela Beck, Local EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) Manager at medmix Haag, to better understand how safety shapes our production, our culture, and our future.

Michaela’s role ensures that medmix Haag stays compliant with the highest health and safety standards. But as she explains, there is no such thing as a “typical day” in EHS.

“Every day is different - whether I’m checking for incidents, doing safety walks, talking to colleagues on the production floor, or getting involved in new machine projects. Safety is everywhere.”

Her hands-on approach ensures that potential risks are spotted early and addressed quickly - keeping operations smooth and people safe. 

✅ How Safety is Maintained Every Day

Michaela and her team use a combination of proactive and reactive tools to make safety part of daily operations:

• Compliance tools that provide guidance on standards.
• Internal & external audits to monitor consistency.
• Random inspections and safety walks across the site.
• Early involvement in machine procurement to ensure new equipment meets all safety regulations. 
  

This holistic approach ensures standards aren’t just met - they’re lived. 

📉 The Results: Fewer Accidents, Greater Confidence

One clear measure of success is the drop in workplace accidents at Haag.

“We’ve gone from several accidents with lost time per year to  zero - or at most one. That’s a big achievement and shows how far our safety culture has come.”

By removing unsafe machines and improving equipment before it enters production, Michaela’s team not only safeguards employees but also improves efficiency and reliability across the site.

🌍 A Vision for the Future

What excites Michaela most is the cultural change she sees taking place:

“Our vision is zero accidents. What motivates us is knowing every employee goes home safe to their family every day. That’s what safety is really about.”

This mindset is now deeply embedded in medmix - driven by both employees and managers who actively look out for each other.

A safe workplace doesn’t just benefit employees - it directly impacts productivity, reliability, and quality. By prioritizing safety, medmix ensures that customers receive products from a facility where processes are consistent, risks are minimized, and sustainability goals are met.

Safety at medmix Haag is more than compliance - it’s a commitment to people, performance, and progress. Thanks to leaders like Michaela, we’re building a culture where innovation and safety go hand in hand.
