BEROA PROMOTES SAFETY AT WORK WITH THE CHIMNEY SAFETY COMMITTEE CREATION

 

In December of 2008, the first meeting of the newly formed Beroa Chimney Safety Committee (BCSC) was held at Karrena GmbH Headquarters in Ratingen, Germany. Representatives from Karrena GmbH, Karrena International, Altac, Chimney Refractory International (CRI) and Bierrum were present. Dr. Johannes Nöthen, Karrena GmbH, hosted the event.

Health & Safety Representatives from each chimney contractor under the Beroa Group are working together to formulate standardized safety practices, regulations and training programs. The Committee has developed a pre-qualification document for sub contractors as well as a statement that subcontractors must acknowledge and commit to working towards a zero injury workplace when working on a Beroa job site.

A quarterly report will be issued by the BCSC summarizing reportable injuries and a Total Incident Rate per company as well as the groups’ chimney division collectively. Upon issue of this quarterly report, the committee will discuss root causes of any injuries and corrective actions that may be put into place to prevent future incidents of the same nature.

Future goals of the committee would be to provide each contractor with safety and health plans which are in compliance with various national laws and regulations and to set up standardized training programs. The committee is planning their next formal meeting in September, 2009.

BEROA EMPLOYEES, CORE OF COMPANY’S SUCCESS

Guillermo Álvarez
Chief Operative Officer

I am delighted to report that in 2008 Beroa again delivered solid financial results. During last year, Beroa generated substantial internal growth while completing a series of strategic acquisitions which have further enhanced the Group’s ability to offer its services in Refractory Engineering and Installation and in Chimney Construction around the world. In particular, were acquisitions in the design, fabrication and installation of steel chimneys. New orders, revenues and profits have all presented record high figures in 2008 despite the current global economical downturn. We recognize that it is the dedication, quality and enthusiasm of Beroa employees that is at the core of our company’s success.ç Beroa stands for more than just financial success. We believe that excellent health, safety and environmental performance is critical to the success of the organization and that any and all unsafe acts, injuries and work related illnesses are preventable. With this basic philosophy, we have established the Beroa Global Safety Committee in 2008 for all chimney operations and expanding for all Beroa employees...
