Over the past two weeks, Sif has organized Safety Stand Downs for all employees in Roermond and at the Maasvlakte 2. For 2 consecutive days we shut the production down, and all operational staff members gathered in one meeting with the question: “What more can management and employees jointly do to make Sif a safer and better place to work?”

All participants were briefed on the 7 Sif Life Saving Rules and completed a test. Additionally, teams identified potential improvements on safety, working procedures, maintenance and 6S.

The second day was spent on sorting, setting and cleaning the workstations and solving the most urgent safety and maintenance issues in order to assure a safe start of the factory after the shutdown. The remaining open issues will be taken care of during the upcoming period. This initiative proved to be a great opportunity to work together as a team and to jointly create a safer and more pleasant working environment. This showcased impressive teamwork that we can be proud of.

Keep up the good work!
