Safety Around Graphite Blocks

Safety Around Graphite Blocks

At Semco, most if not all processes start with graphite blocks: (sometimes) large sections of (usually) synthetic graphite of various grades. To cut, grind, and shave this material into the components that our customers depend on, our shop floor employees have to pass the material through precise machining processes that bring to bear much friction, pressure, and speed on the material.

In early 2020, we thought Semco was a highly networked workplace. Then came March 2020. With COVID restrictions, networking has taken on an even bigger role in our graphite company. Departments that understood in-person work as the bread and butter of what they do...
