Denver, Colo. – March 21, 2007 – ARCADIS (NASDAQ: ARCAF, EURONEXT: ARCAD), in keeping with one of its core values of Health and Safety (H&S), is integrating a state-of-the-art health and safety process, the Loss Prevention SystemTM (LPS). With a goal of making ARCADIS the safest company in the industry, 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.

Implementation in the United States is directed from headquarters based in Denver, Colorado. With 3,500 employees in over 120 offices, it is the most comprehensive H&S improvement program in the 50 year history of ARCADIS in the U.S.
 
 “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.
