Codelco and Anglo American recognize Metso's contribution to safety
Metso Corporation's press release on July 26, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. EET
Metso has received recognition for promoting safety at the worksites of Codelco
and Anglo American in Chile. Metso has been able to improve the safety of
operations at both sites by developing and implementing innovative safety
enhancements. The award from Codelco and the written testimonial from Anglo
American were received at customer-hosted events.
A mobile application tool developed by Metso is used by the health, safety,
environment and quality personnel at the Codelco worksite. By utilizing a pre-
formatted checklist, it evaluates the various conditions that must be controlled
in field supervision, such as the application of risk control sheets and
training of personnel involved. All this yields a supervision performance result
to ensure proper implementation of controls and application of preventive
measures.
Similarly, Metso's commitment to the goal of zero incidents has been recognized
by Anglo American, specifically the implementation of job risk assessment
procedures that enable operational continuity in the plants, a task always
focused on critical controls.
"We encourage other companies in the industry to follow the example set by Metso
and implement similar initiatives to improve the safety of their operations,"
says Hernán Cabello, Superintendent, Gabriela Mistral, Codelco.
"We are honored to receive these recognitions. For us at Metso, it is important
to engage everyone in initiatives that improve safety. The highest safety
standards are shared across Metso and we are committed to keeping it as our top
priority in the future as well," says Aldo Cermenati, Senior Vice President,
Pacific Rim market area.
