Guðmundur Ólafsson, the business manager of VÍS, Lovísa Ólafsdóttir, a safety delegate of VÍS, Guðný Helga Herbertsdóttir, the director of VÍS, Kristinn Hreinsson, the CEO of Rafeyri, Hannes Garðarsson, the office, safety and quality manager of Rafeyri, and Þorvaldur Þorsteinsson, the business manager of VÍS.

VÍS is an Icelandic insurance company that has recently awarded Rafeyri with their annual "Safety Awards." This prestigious award is given to companies that excel in implementing effective prevention and safety policies.

Returning home safely every day is the goal of all of us, and to achieve that, we need to maintain our vigilance.

Rafeyri's emphasis on safety has been focused on raising employee awareness of the importance of safe work practices, and that each and every employee is their own "safety manager" with responsibility for themselves and those in their work environment. It is closely linked to delivering good work and working safely. There are few complaints about Rafeyri's workmanship, and the team consists of diverse professionals who solve each task assigned to them as a whole.

"You may take risks in your work...BUT...reasonably," says the safety manager. It is our belief that by trying to push our limits reasonably, we learn to recognize them and likely expand them.

It is crucial to maintain education on safety, health, environmental, and work environment issues, and Rafeyri has set itself policies in these areas. However, it is not enough to simply dress up and present oneself as an exemplary model in safety matters; we must constantly discipline ourselves to work and act in line with this.

Rafeyri appreciates the recognition that comes with the award and hopes to be worthy of it. This award serves as a helpful reminder to stay on track and brings us great joy.
