The efforts made by the Group and its employees in
the Health & Safety domain is gaining recognition,
as demonstrated by the international distinction
which ALUMINIUM S.A. gained by winning the1st
Prize in the Safety Solutions 2011 competition,
organised by the European Aluminium Association
as part of the Safety Workshop held in Brussels
in June 2011.
Participations in this competition, whose aim was
to showcase innovative ideas for improving safety
levels in the aluminium industry, numbered 24
candidates from European companies, including
the world’s largest aluminium companies such as
Alcoa, RioTinto and Hydro.
The subject of the entry submitted by ALUMINIUM
S.A. in the competition was “Safe Occupational
Behaviour”, and was designed and developed by
the Aluminium Casting Department. The success
of the “Safe Occupational Behaviour” model relies
on its use of the power of images to illustrate the
correct practices and behaviours at the workplace,
and on the involvement of the employees, who
design and create the model themselves.
Education and Training
For MYTILINEOS Group, the provision of education and training to its workforce and the continuous
improvement of their capabilities are key to the achievement of its business goals. Although conditions
and, consequently, training needs vary between Group Companies, the development of employees
including the development of the skills of the technical and labour personnel and of the other members
of the personnel hierarchy are common objectives across all of the Group’s activity sectors.
In 2011, the average training person-hours per employee stood at 31.5 person-hours and the total
training cost stood at nearly €1.5 million. The Metallurgy and Mining sector was allocated 98% of the
year’s total of 52,037 training person-hours, with priority given to Health and Safety and to the provision
of technical training and support to technical and labour personnel.
