Safety
We work hard to keep our employees safe at all times. All employees are instructed that they must stop work in the event of unsafe conditions or actions.
Our safety programs aim to eliminate potential safety hazards before injuries and illnesses can occur. We identify risks through our hazard identification and inspection program, and track actions taken to ensure the causes are removed.
We raise awareness of safety issues at work through electronic newsletters, our internal TV network, and employee awareness events.
In 2012, Motorola Mobility met its goal of achieving zero-related fines and citations related to EHS issues. This is an ongoing annual goal.
