Improved safety skills at Vallvik Mill with Online Learning
Oct 18, 2017
When it was time for us to renew our certificates, we also saw a need to provide our most experienced operators with additional training. Vallvik Mill operators improve their safety skills with Valmet Online Learning courses with safety in focus.
We want to provide all of our recovery boiler operators, both the experienced operators, as well as the less experienced operators, with the best prerequisites and skills to deliver excellent performances. Since Valmet also includes safety aspects in their online training, we decided that this was a superb addition for our operators’ regular (internal and external) training agenda.”
