Borax Argentina has a very high profile in Argentina , in Salta province especially , as it has a strong history of excellent environmental and safety records along with healthy community relations . Safety is a key focus at Orocobre not only encompassing implementation and adherence to procedures and safety training programs but also having officers on shift to reinforce correct behaviours and ensure compliance with procedures .
“ Safety , environment and shared value are key areas for us ,” said Seville . “ In safety , we aim for zero accidents as stated in our slogan , “ Por nosotros , por nuestras familias , zero accidentes !”
“ We respect the environment in which we operate as evidenced by our approach to construction , which maximises positive local economic impact and benefits to local communities .”
The Olaroz Lithium Facility recently received accreditation from Instituto Argentino de Normalizaciion y Certificacion ( IRAM ) for quality management , environmental management , as well as safety and occupational healthcare management . Seville strongly believes there are bright days ahead for Orocobre , and expects to see considerable growth within the next year or two .
“ I see us as a major player in the sector , respected by customers and competitors for the way we run our business ,” he said .
