SAFETY SPECIALIST

These activities also include anti-fraud checks (search for potentially vulnerable areas and proposal of technological solutions to inhibit possible fraud and/or adulteration); checks at third-party transport companies; audits, preparation of checklists to support staff, etc.

Achieved results

Work in progress: after the first year of activity, the number of sites and therefore of requests for ADR consultant appointments has doubled.
