Commitment to Safe Tile Installation at Height

At Erfan International Tile Company, working safely is a core value shared across all levels of the organization. Our Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Department places strong emphasis on strict adherence to safety rules—especially during tile installation at height, where the risks are significantly greater.

Thanks to our proactive safety culture, ongoing training, and comprehensive safety protocols, we are proud to report over 16 years of operations without any recordable incidents or accidents at both our manufacturing facilities and installation sites. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to health and safety and serves as a benchmark we strive to maintain and improve continuously.

All employees and contractors are expected to:

• Follow established height safety procedures at all times.

• Use the correct fall protection equipment and tools.

• Participate in regular safety briefings and training specific to elevated work.

Our zero-incident record is not just a milestone—it is a responsibility we uphold every day.
