ALRO, one of the largest vertically integrated aluminium producers in Europe, measured by production capacity, has announced the implementation of new safety measures to fight against COVID-19. The company has implemented Work From Home program to reduce the interaction between employees.

The Company has introduced thermal scanning systems in its locations’ access points to check the personnel’s body temperature. The divisions’ work schedules were changed to minimise contact between employees, and additional rest breaks were introduced in special designed places according to the authorities’ guidelines and recommendations, ALRO said.
"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, Slatina. "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", added Gheorghe DOBRA.
ALRO has been implementing safety measures since the outbreak of the COVID-19 health crisis. The company said all employees received protective medical materials and equipment and were instructed on how to prevent COVID-19 infections, factory areas are cleaned, sanitized and disinfected regularly, recommendations for physical distance and hygiene measures were visually marked on the premises,
“ALRO has also implemented contingency plans simulating the case of one or more employees are infected with COVID-19, thus ensuring that the operations are not disrupted and the Company remains fully operational and delivers on time,” the company said.
The company has also donated over RON 440,000 and protective equipment, reflective vests and video thermo-scanners to Slatina County Emergency Hospital, the Romanian Red Cross, Olt and the International Police Association of Romania, Olt to mitigate the effects of COVID-19.
