Metro Alloys joins ISRI’s Circle of Safety Excellence

The metals recycling company Metro Alloys Inc., East Point, Georgia, has been added to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) Circle of Safety Excellence, an industry initiative focused on improving operational safety for recycling companies.

ISRI says the key to the new initiative is the establishment of a platform through which like-minded companies voluntarily come forward to share safety data and best practices for the betterment of their own safety operations. By taking this step, companies such as Metro Alloys are being recognized by ISRI for their commitment to safety.

Companies must apply annually for membership in the Circle of Safety Excellence.

“Employee safety must be embedded in a recycler’s day-to-day operations to be effective and its importance simply cannot be overstated,” says Neil Berman, president of Metro Alloys “Our management team is always on top of safety issues and finding ways to improve how our employees can elevate their safety performance.”

In acknowledging the company’s safety record, Berman highlights Fleet and Safety Director Bobby Woljevach, who has been with Metro Alloys for more than 25 years. “He’s done a superb job working with our managers and employees.”

Berman continues, “We’ve recently added Erin Berman as Metro’s safety coordinator to further our day-to-day management and effectiveness in this area.”
