EXEMPLARY SAFETY PROGRAMME FOR MAINTENANCE AT HERACLES VOLOS PLANT

At the Heracles cement company, besides daily maintenance activities, production at each plant stops at least once a year so that scheduled extensive maintenance work can be performed. This shutdown is a critical operation of the plant, with increased demands in terms of safety, as many people (both employees and contractors) are involved in many operations of a diff erent nature (production, mechanical, electrical). In the 39 days of the shutdown for maintenance works approximately 100 employees and 160 contractors are involved.
