Keeping Santander’s Workers Safe

Seven hundred and fifty persons are employed by Santander Sugar Group.  Twenty-year-old Guatemalan National, Francisco Andres Antonio Sebastian, was an employee of Santander until he was crushed to death. It happened in 2016 when Sebastian was dismembered by a harvester machine. This brings to light the need for enhanced safety issues. Chief Executive Officer Jose Rodriguez spoke about what the company is doing to keep its workers safe.
