VILMEC IKE usually operates in high-risk areas (Refineries, Petrochemicals, Power Plants, etc.), which makes it particularly sensitive to occupational safety issues, but always with respect to the environment and the future of our children.
The main concern and constant aim of the Management is the successful execution of the projects undertaken through safe practices as prescribed by the legislation and which aim at minimizing the possibility of exposing the Company’s personnel to risk at work and environmental protection.
In addition to the statutory Personnel Insurance and Third Party Insurance, the Company provides its Personnel Special Group Insurance to a private insurance company to cover accident during work hours and has also secured funds to protect the environment against any accidents through liability insurance.
In the context of safe work, the Company pursues a preventive maintenance program for its machinery (welding machines, electrical boards, cables, etc.), and maintains its lifting equipment certified.
The Company has also developed a “Occupational Safety & Health Manual” which includes the procedures followed by the Company in carrying out the work. Another step towards safe work is the “Occupational Risk Assessment Study” that has been prepared.
Finally, VILMEC IKE has a permanently appointed Safety Technician and Workplace Doctor for the supervision and for the continuous operation of the above.
