Globally Recognized Health and Safety System Adopted by ARCADIS

DENVER - ARCADIS (NASDAQ: ARCAF)(EURONEXT: ARCAD) is integrating a state-of-the-art health and safety process, the Loss Prevention SystemTM (LPS). LPS uses proactive H&S theories, tools and techniques proven effective in Fortune 100 companies.

Integrating LPS with ARCADIS’ global H&S management system aims to proactively eliminate employee injuries and accidents at work and at home. The initiative is a tiered behavior-based system that focuses ARCADIS’ employees on the shared goal of eliminating hazards from their work and personal environment. It involves our subcontractors and calls for client input as well.

“Our vision for Health & Safety is simple: It’s how we do business. ARCADIS is committed to protecting people, property and the environment from harm. ARCADIS is a leader in our fields of activity; having a solid Health & Safety management system is crucial to achieving and maintaining that leadership position,” said Steve Blake, CEO of ARCADIS’ U.S. operations. “I am committed to creating an unmatched health and safety conscious culture at ARCADIS.”

LPS tools allow a company to more easily and actively measure, track and report health and safety performance internally and externally in terms of leading H&S indicators rather than reactive lagging indicators. The system manages health and safety risks while protecting employees, subcontractors, clients and the public.
