Safety Leadership

Safety Commitment Pays Off

Xilinx is committed to providing a safe and healthful work environment for all employees to minimize the risk of work-related injuries and illnesses and the resulting human and economic loss. We achieve success through the application of proper safeguards to processes, equipment, methods and procedures, and by providing employees with the training necessary to perform their jobs easily.

Our employees demonstrate their commitment to improving Xilinx safety performance by continuing to lead the world in employee and contractor health and safety performance at world class levels. Xilinx has consistently reported injury rates below the industry average (as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for our industry per SIC 3674).

As a safety leader, Xilinx takes all necessary and responsible steps to comply with safety and health standards set forth in Federal, State and local laws and regulations. Xilinx established a written Xilinx Injury and Illness Prevention Program (XIIPP) fostered at the highest levels of the company and practiced daily by employees at Xilinx.
