“Implementing ISNetworld in Mexico allows Arkema to transition from manual contractor oversight to a digital platform that enhances regulatory compliance and operational efficiency,” said Fernando Castro Gonzalez, Regional Senior HES Specialist at Arkema. “This transformation brings significant benefits to Arkema, from improving productivity to providing our team with additional knowledge and information to help improve worker safety.
