– We experience that the municipality and Elkem have collaborated very well in the most important thing, protecting people. Good collaboration is absolutely crucial to success, says Fauske municipal chief physician Gregory Hautois.
Ove Sørdahl, plant manager at Elkem Salten, says they have and are taking the situation very seriously.
– When we saw the outlines of more than individual cases of infection, in collaboration with the municipality of Fauske we immediately began testing all the people in the energy recovery project. Openness and good cooperation are the key to being successful in fighting infection, says Sørdahl.
– The fact that only contracted personnel who have worked on the energy recovery project have been proven infected shows that we have managed to keep people who have worked on operations and projects separate. At the same time, these are six more cases of infection. As a result, we will review all the routines in the dining areas, barracks, common equipment, and more to see what we can do better. We will also consider stricter measures in testing to detect new cases to a greater extent as soon as possible, says Sørdahl.
