Metal Industry H&S training
Our client, Halivurgiki SA, was Greece's greatest metal - working company. They were the sole makers of EURO coins in Greece, among other products. Their main factory resides in North-West, and more than 300 workers are employed. We successfully organized and carried out a 10 days full time training seminar on occupational health and safety for their whole personnel. Results were excellent both in terms of feedback and midterm incident occurrences [incidents dropped by 55% in the first year alone]. Training comprised both theoretical and experimental parts, including real time evacuation drills, fire extinction, etc.
