Additional project rules
• Safety first: It is mandatory to use personal protective equipment (glasses, gloves, suitable footwear) depending on the maintenance task being performed. If you don’t know how to use a tool, always ask before operating.
• Care and order of the workshop: The tools and materials are very valuable to our project. At the end of each shift, the workshop must be perfectly clean, organized and locked. Tools that are used are cleaned and stored in their place.
• Responsible use of resources: We work under a sustainability approach. We avoid waste of paint, water, construction materials and electrical energy. Report immediately any leak or major damage you find in the facilities.
