Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Initiatives
For one more year, MYTILINEOS stands out
in Health & Safety Awards, with two top distinctions granted to the Metallurgy
Sector – Aluminium of Greece for actions promoting health and safety at the
work place.
In particular, MYTILINEOS was granted the golden award for the ”Emergency
Unit of Aluminium of Greece”. This is an integrated system for emergency
situations (e.g. accidents, fire, entrapments, interventions in enclosed premises
etc) consisting of properly trained personnel. The company has adopted an
Occupational Health and Safety management system certified by the
international standard OHSAS 18001. To this end, it takes preventive actions
to cope with emergencies, in order to verify the personnel’s readiness and
effectiveness.
The Unit’s respective activity is not only limited to the plant’s premises; it also
assists the Authorities in coping with incidents in the broader area to provide
effective and prompt assistance, upon receiving a call for immediate action.
The company was awarded an equivalent distinction for ”Safety Missions’‘, a
well-established practice in the Metallurgy Sector whereby every employee is
exclusively involved for a specific period of time in safety issues, whether job
related or not. This action aims at rendering safety part of each employee’s
working routine.
MYTILINEOS proves that it rightly ranks amongst the top enterprises placing
Health and Safety along their key priorities, while continuously monitoring best
international practices, with a view to further upgrading its operation level.
