LBC marks World Health and Safety Day 2025

Lao Brewery Company Limited (LBC) held a seminar at its headquarters in Vientiane  and LBC’s Champassak Plant on April 28 to mark World Health and Safety Day 2025, reaffirming its commitment to workplace well-being and raising awareness about safety among its employees.
The event brought together LBC’s Managing Director Mr Henrik Juel Andersen, a representative from the Vientiane Capital Traffic Police Department, Lieutenant Colonel Lienxay Vongmonkham, and company employees, in observance of the 24th anniversary of the global awareness day.

LBC Managing Director Mr Henrik Juel Andersen addresses employees at the seminar, emphasising the need for traffic safety awareness.

This year’s seminar focused on enhancing employees’ understanding of traffic regulations to help prevent road accidents, aligning with LBC’s broader vision of achieving zero workplace-related incidents by 2030. This goal supports the company’s policy of fostering a “Zero Accidents Culture”, which forms the sixth pillar of its Together Towards Zero & Beyond (TTZAB) framework.
A presentation on road safety was delivered by Lieutenant Colonel Lienxay, and a representative of Thongsangnang Driving School, followed by a question-and-answer session.
“We came today to promote road safety among LBC employee, focusing on traffic laws such as the use of helmets, observing speed limits, and fastening seat belts,” said Lieutenant Colonel Lienxay. “We aim to raise awareness so staff can also share this information with their families, contributing to a reduction in road accidents.”
He noted that most accidents in Vientiane involve motorcycles and emphasised the life-saving importance of helmets. “Helmets reduce the impact on the brain, potentially saving lives,” he explained.

LBC’s Managing Director, Mr Henrik Juel Andersen, underlined the company’s ongoing efforts to improve safety standards and create a safe, efficient and sustainable work environment for all LBC employees.
“This year, our focus is on traffic and workplace-related safety, which we consider a major risk area in the country,” he said. “With over 600 trucks and 200 company vehicles in daily operation, it is vital that all staff understand and follow traffic laws.”
To further strengthen its proactive safety measures, Mr Andersen announced plans to introduce a voluntary breathalyser checkpoint at the factory. This initiative aims to help monitor alcohol levels among employees operating machinery or driving vehicles, reinforcing the company’s culture of responsibility.
The event also featured a presentation on traffic rules by Lieutenant Colonel Lienxay, a general knowledge quiz on traffic regulations with prizes, and a safe socialising session with Carlsberg 0.0 Alcohol beverages.
