ALRO introduces thermal scanning systems for COVID-19 prevention

ALRO, one of the largest vertically integrated aluminium producers in Europe, measured by production capacity, implemented additional and complementary safety measures to those introduced at the beginning of the COVID-19 health crisis.

The access on the Company’s premises is allowed after the personnel’s body temperature is checked through cameras placed at the gates’ area,  the divisions’ work schedules were changed to minimise contact between employees, an extended Work From Home program has been implemented and additional rest breaks were introduced in special designed places according to the authorities’ guidelines and recommendations, where wearing a mask is not mandatory, thus ensuring that the personnel can freely breathe to keep a normal oxygen level within their bodies.

“The strict protocols and procedures designed to protect the health of our employees and create a safe work environment have proved to be effective, both in preventing infections and in securing the continuity of our operations,” said Gheorghe Dobra, Chief Executive Officer of ALRO. “The new implemented preventive measures have the role of increasing the safety level in which we carry out our activities and to ensure that each of us returns home healthy to our loved ones”, he added.
