Best practices
Acerinox Europa and the fire brigade consortium carried out a practical exercise of an emergency scenario. The training, which was part of the activities included in the collaboration agreement signed between Acerinox Europa and the provincial fire brigade consortium, was carried out at the Palmones factory.
The Group’s factories have the 6S system, also known as 5S + Safety, which seeks to maintain and promote a high level of productivity and safety within the working environment.
A 24-hour Group-wide reporting system was established in order to report accidents, with subsequent training in problem solving and root cause identification for future safety application.
The Group’s factories implemented a safety minute for shift changeover.
LOTO (Lockout Tagout) audits were reinforced.
In addition to accident and absenteeism indicators, Leading Safety Indicators were defined for roll-out in 2022.
With the motto “Our People, Our Priority: Safety First”, Acerinox promoted activities in its offices and production centres on the five continents. Specific daily training activities were held at each plant, selected on the basis of the main causes of accidents in the steel industry.
