Safety and health

“ArcelorMittal Gent is not a cookie factory.” A statement often uttered by the ArcelorMittal Gent’ employees. And rightly so. When we talk about a “light” coil of steel, we are talking about a coil that weighs 20 tonnes. When a steel slab leaves the hot strip mill at a temperature of 1,150°C, we sometimes refer to it as a “cold” slab.

Working at ArcelorMittal Gent means working in an unique, industrial environment. It is important for all employees to be aware of that, in order for them to work safely.

Analyses have shown that our employees face a higher risk of having an accident on/from their way to work than at work itself. That is why we also pay special attention to road safety.

But in the end, the well-being of our employees starts with a good health. We at ArcelorMittal Gent therefore find it important to take up responsiblity in improving the health of our employees.
