ABOUT THE REGIONAL CASTHOUSE SAFETY WORKSHOPS

Since 1993, the Aluminum Association has hosted semi-annual safety training on casthouse work practices and through that

training has provided several thousand representatives from member and non-member companies alike with the latest

information in casthouse safety management as provided by recognized industry experts.

In addition, these workshops provide an invaluable opportunity for attendees to share their site specific experiences and learn from

the experiences of others to further the goal of improving the safety of the industry as a whole.
