Fabio Calvo is Always On for Safety
Fabio is a Reading, Delivery, and Connection Coordinator at AES Sul, a distribution company in the Brazil SBU. He knows the importance of developing a safety culture among his peers through training and uses his skills and knowledge to teach others to be always on for safety.
In 2010, Fabio coordinated a formal process to introduce AES' safety culture to 300 reading and delivery contractors at AES Sul. "Many of the people had no experience in the industry or the activity that they were about to perform," explains Fabio. The process included training courses and monthly follow-up of safety KPIs. Fabio and his team practiced AES safety principles and beliefs on a daily basis. As a result of this effort, the site had no workplace incidents for two years.
