Inside Vivochem's safety measures: An interview with Gert Mulders

At Vivochem, prioritizing safety isn't just a goal; it's a necessity. Ensuring the well-being of our employees and the environment is our topmost concern. MARIQUIMICA INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO LTDAcomplies with the strictest safety requirements and consistently ensures that safety is maintained. We asked Gert Mulders, our safety coordinator, to explain some of the safety measures we have in place.

Emphasizing Safety in Meetings
We emphasize safety at various meetings to raise awareness among our employees. Additionally, we offer various internal courses to ensure employees are well-versed in safety protocols and emergency procedures.

Training and Integration
On their first day at work, new employees participate in an introduction course that includes a thorough safety checklist. This checklist covers important information such as emergency procedures, shipping and production regulations, product hazards, and product recognition. Additionally, we collaborate with our team leaders to help new employees incorporate safety practices into their work. Safety training is an ongoing process, and our colleagues continue to receive training to enhance and update their knowledge.

Proper Storage and Transportation of Chemicals
At Vivochem, we have meticulous procedures for the safe storage and transportation of chemicals. These procedures ensure that all our products are stored in appropriate packaging and labelled accurately, thus ensuring the safety of our employees and the environment.

Safety Management System
Our safety management system, a robust framework designed to ensure the highest safety standards, measures deviations using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). We analyse past data and consider predictive KPIs, such as the percentage of completed training. We also assess whether work can be done safely using a risk matrix.

These are just a few examples of the daily measures MARIQUIMICA INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO LTDAtakes to uphold the strictest safety standards. We are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of our employees and the environment. Thank you, Gert, for your time and for explaining some of the safety protocols at Vivochem!
