Safety
At ASM, we are passionate about safety. Through our Be Safe commitment, one of our top priorities is ensuring our people and our customers using our equipment are safe. To enable this, we have robust management systems and equipment design standards.
Leading by example
Safety is an integral part of our drive to innovate, which is why we are always looking to further improve the design, development, manufacturing, delivery, and ongoing use of our products. We prioritize prevention to ensure minimal exposure to harm.
In 2025, ASM achieved certification to ISO 45001, the internationally recognized standard for occupational health and safety management systems, across 7 manufacturing and engineering sites globally. This certification confirms that ASM's safety practices meet rigorous global standards and reflects our commitment to proactively managing risks, reducing workplace incidents, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
Our aim is to make ASM's operations safer, lead engagements that aim to make the entire industry safer and reduce risks for all who work at, or with, ASM and our stakeholders. We also continue our work with SEMI Environment, Health and Safety working groups and initiatives.
Safety culture
To embed safety as a key priority, we follow a clear and actionable framework for everyone at ASM: our 7Es of safety leadership. This has long been the foundation of our company-wide safety culture, based on the philosophy that everyone is a safety leader. We foster a culture where safety is continuously prioritized and integrated into all aspects of our operations, emphasizing engagement, so that every individual feels accountable for their safety, and that of their team.
Our safety leadership award recognizes employees who actively demonstrate their commitment to the 7Es and contribute significantly to creating a safe work environment, reinforcing positive safety behaviors and leadership.
