"We have been impressed by the work of Metso's Joint Safety Committees, and we value the proactive processes they have developed to enhance safety - processes for which they have won various awards and recognitions," says Guillermo Gacitúa, President of the National Safety Council of Chile.
Metso is continuously looking for new innovative ways to enhance occupational safety and well-being at work. One of the most important initiatives implemented by Metso's Pacific Rim market area in 2016 was the immersed virtual reality training system, where risk situations can be trained for in a 3D factory environment.
"For us it is an honour to receive these recognitions. We put an emphasis on generating new initiatives and engaging our employees, families and children to help them to recognize unsafe situations. Constantly innovating so that every employee is always aware of the importance of safety has always been one of our important focus areas," explains Aldo Cermenati, SVP, Pacific Rim market area, Metso.
