Heat, mass and height in the same workplace.
Steel and metals production brings molten material, heavy lifting, confined vessels and elevated structures together, with maintenance work often carried out during shutdowns under time pressure.
Safety context in steel & metal.
Shutdown maintenance compresses the highest-risk work — vessel entry, work at height, heavy lifting and hot work — into the shortest available window.
Eduforce brings its confined space, height and rescue, lifting, fire and electrical safety, and industrial hygiene capability to those conditions.
What this industry has to manage.
Hot work and fire risk
Molten material and hot work demand fire prevention, control and immediate response capability.
Vessel and duct entry
Furnaces, ducts and vessels are confined spaces with atmospheric and thermal hazards.
Heavy lifting
Cranes, hoists and rigging operate continuously with substantial loads.
Height and structure work
Elevated structures and plant maintenance require fall protection and rescue capability.
