Metso Corporation's press release on December 3, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. EET
The Chilean mining suppliers' association Aprimin has awarded Metso with the
Annual Safety Award 2014 in the Large Company category. Metso received this
recognition for the second year running for its excellent performance in the
prevention of occupational hazards. The award was granted on November 5, 2014,
during the Association's annual gala in Santiago, Chile, attended by the
Minister of Mines and major mining companies in the country.
The award was given for attaining the result of more than a million hours worked
without accidents. This award is further proof of Metso's commitment to
achieving injury-free operations. Metso stood out from the more than 90 other
member companies by fostering a safety culture in its operations at both its own
and its customers' facilities.
"Within the overarching goal of preventing accidents and loss of life,
occupational safety in mining is an ongoing concern among companies and demands
our utmost attention and foresight. Achieving zero accidents is the outcome of
an endeavor to create and sustain a work climate where safety is not a statistic
but a way of life. It is therefore with great pleasure that Aprimin recognizes
Metso for the second year running for its ethical responsibility and commitment
to safety standards," says Juan Carlos Olivares, Aprimin's General Manager.
Continuous development of safety performance
At Metso, good safety performance is an essential element of all our activities.
During the past year, there has been a strong focus on developing the company's
safety approach, and this award is one indication that the work is bringing
results. Prioritizing the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees,
customers and partners is fundamental to everyone at Metso.
"One of our goals is to protect the safety of all workers, both inside and
outside of the company, at all times. This recognition shows that we are moving
in the right direction as a company. The challenge is to keep the focus
continuously on safety excellence. We must constantly be alert, promoting and
developing further initiatives and projects to maintain and improve our safety
performance indicators over time," stresses Aldo Cermenati, SVP, Pacific Rim
market area at Metso.
