Monthly Safety Message from Felipe Cerón
At AES, we strive to do the best in all that we do and aim to perform at world-class levels across many areas. There's no area that being world-class is more important to us than safety. Lives are on the line. To create a workplace free of incidents focused on safety excellence for our people and our contractors, each business must have a number of elements in place. It all starts with our people. |
Monthly Cybersecurity Message from Scott Goodhart
When we think of good cybersecurity behaviors, we often think of avoiding public wireless networks, changing passwords on a regular basis and thinking before clicking on suspicious links contained in email messages. While exercising these good cyber behaviors is crucial, I'd like to remind everyone of a frequently overlooked but equally important information security practice: exercising a clean desk during and after work. |

APEX project: Inventory Optimization
At this year's 2014 APEX Global Awards, 15 projects were presented as examples of successful performance excellence projects across the company. One of the projects presented included, Inventory Optimization, from AES Palm Springs, part of the US SBU. AES Palm Springs faced the challenge of acquiring wind turbine parts when needed, in the correct quantities and at the lowest possible cost. This resulted in leaving turbines offline for an extended period of time. |
Leandro Santos and Roberto Barreto are Always On for Safety
Two months ago, two electricians at AES Eletropaulo, who provide services to the eastern area of the city of São Paulo, avoided a tragedy. The team was called to provide assistance during an outage in the district of São Mateus. Electricians Leandro Santos and Roberto Barreto witnessed a high-risk situation. The masons of a construction site at the area had used a piece of wood to separate 3,800-volt wires from the walls they were building. |
