Visits
The same instructions apply to our guests at our premises, i.e. we recommend to
minimize the number of guests entering our premises. It is always necessary to consider
the importance of the visit.
The host is always responsible for instructing the visitors and ensuring that we all act
according to the latest, valid instructions.
Our customers have sent us instructions for visits at their premises. We shall comply with
those.
We always follow the most stringent instructions, e.g. a former trip to any country
can according to the instructions refuse a person the entry to customer
premises.
So far no-one is infected by COVID-19 virus at ANDRITZ Finland. We appreciate that our personnel
will act in a responsible and matter-of-fact way concerning this matter also outside office hours.
