Health & Safety Policy

At Alpha Refractory LLC, aligned with our vision of “Global Responsibility, Global Respect,” we are committed to creating a safe, healthy, and sustainable work environment across every area of our operations. Through our Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Management System, we pledge to identify, implement, and continually improve the most effective methods to protect the physical and mental well-being of our employees and stakeholders.

Our approach is rooted in the guiding principle of our founder, Mr. Fatih Koçak, who said:
“Our greatest asset is the people who build our success.”
