Safety

Overview​

GM’s Global Workplace Safety organization is built on the principle that safety is everyone’s responsibility and is central to GM’s purpose, vision, and daily operations. The organization is committed to creating a safer and smarter world, with a strong focus on accountability, employee engagement, and continuous improvement in workplace safety practices.

GM’s Global Workplace Safety program encompasses a comprehensive set of tools, processes, and standards designed to protect employees and ensure regulatory compliance worldwide.

The organization’s approach includes incident management, safety tours and inspections, employee engagement, action tracking, and technical enablers such as data integration and KPI dashboards.
