With the aim to complement academic training and provide expert knowledge to the country's youth, last Tuesday, June 7, a group of Duoc UC students of the Puente Alto campus, taking specifically the hazardous materials courses that specializes them in risk prevention, visited the facilities of Hidronor (Pudahuel Plant, RM) with the aim to firsthand learning, and methods on how to apply safety procedures in industrial plants with specialized personnel.

During the tour, which took place at this institution for the second time and was led by Ricardo Leiva, Hidronor's Corporate Head of Risk Prevention; Alejandra González, Risk Prevention expert at the Pudahuel Plant; and Boris Díaz, Central Zone plant manager; there was an introductory talk where the executives explained to those present how each process is carried out within the company -which they were able to verify in their final tour-, as well as safety aspects and current regulations related to risk prevention in the industry.

“At Hidronor we maintain our open-door policy for all those interested in knowing how a company in our field develops the most advanced processes in a responsible manner. It fills us with pride to be able to contribute to the knowledge and professional development of tomorrow’s future collaborators, who will be in charge of maintaining and continue promoting the commitment that we have as a company to safety, the environment and the society”, pointed out Boris Díaz.

Además de todo lo relacionado a la prevención de riesgos industriales, este grupo de jóvenes pudo conocer mucho más acerca de los procesos de revalorización energética, circular economy and gestión de residuos peligrosos que implementamos en Hidronor, quedando la invitación abierta para que puedan volver y sigan formándose como profesionales integrales para el futuro.

With these types of actions, we at Hidronor demonstrate our commitment to society, contributing to the best of our staff to ensure the maintenance of our sustainable actions for many more years.
