How long have you been with Altri?

I have been with Altri for six years, having joined in August 2018.

What does your daily routine at the company involve?

The day begins with the daily Kaizen meeting with the maintenance team to review maintenance indicators and align tasks and priorities. Late in the morning, I take part in the Daily Management Meeting, where deviations from indicators, safety issues, and incidents are analysed, and priority tasks are planned. Throughout the day, I focus on controlling and managing maintenance costs, planning shutdowns, and attending management and safety meetings.

What does it mean to you to have been highlighted as an example of safety within your company?

It is a great honour and responsibility. It means that my actions and behaviours are seen as an example to follow, and that they are aligned with Altri Group’s commitment to safety and the environment.

What challenges do you face in promoting safety in the workplace?

I would highlight two main challenges: resistance to change and incorrect risk assessments. It is essential to clearly communicate the benefits of change and engage employees in the process.

What measure would you implement to achieve Zero Accidents?

Leadership involvement: ensuring that those responsible for tasks and facilities are fully committed to safety.
