New Health and Safety Manager at AluK in Chepstow

Overview

AluK continues to invest in the team at its Chepstow HQ, with the appointment of Sophie Bragg as health, safety and environmental manager.

Responsibilities

Sophie is responsible for looking after the safety and wellbeing of everyone who visits AluK – including staff, contractors and customers, and also for ensuring that AluK’s processes do not have any negative impact on the local environment.

One of Sophie’s key objectives in the new role is to build on what AluK describes as ‘a positive and interactive HSE culture’ where everyone feels empowered to raise queries and make suggestions.

Qualifications & Experience

Sophie has extensive experience in the private sector, having worked in sectors including food, automotive and metals forging, but she has joined AluK direct from Gwent Police where she oversaw a very different set of hazards and health and safety challenges.

She said: “I’m impressed by how high profile health and safety already is at AluK and the widespread appreciation across the business of the positive impact it can have on overall effectiveness. I’m particularly excited by the environmental aspects of the role and continuing the huge strides that have been made in recent years in terms of our environmental stewardship.”
