Depending on the area of the plant site you might encounter working in cold, hot, dusty and dirty environments in teams or individually.   While you may not have previous experience in this type of work, AltaSteel ensures that all employees are fully trained and that the appropriate systems and procedures are in place to ensure all tasks can be completed safely and without strain.
