Alessandro Roggerini, HR Director of Duferco Group, joined the webinar Steel Human: the human capital of the steel industry, organized by siderweb and Randstad Research Italy. During the online event, the panelists discussed the issues of recruitment process, employees’ continuous training and mismatch between the skills needed by steel companies and the market’s offer. Besides, the results of a survey realized among the companies of the steel sector were shared.

Discussing with Francesca Morandi, siderweb’s content manager, and Micaela Di Giusto, Head of Human Resources of Gruppo Pittini, Alessandro Roggerini explained Gruppo Duferco’s approach in the management of human resources. He also presented the important selection and recruitment process for the new rolling mill in San Zeno Naviglio.

In these weeks we are working to define the recruitment process, also to become more attractive for candidates. We will work on different sides, with recruitment companies and maybe with a parallel job posting on our own. We aim to collaborate with schools, in order to better understand and define our path and present the technical characteristics of a state of art rolling mill. We will also explain that we belong to a green, sustainable, high-tehcnology and safe industry, which requires high technical skills to operate the high-tech tools and instruments featured by the rolling mill in San Zeno.

The final workshop of the research project “iSafety – Leveraging artificial intelligence techniques to improve occupational and process safety in the iron and steel industry” was held at the University of Brescia. The project is funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research under the PNRR – Next Generation EU programme.

Developed by the University of Brescia in collaboration with ICAR-CNR, the project explored the application of mathematical models and artificial intelligence techniques to the analysis of safety data in the steel industry. The aim was to identify recurring patterns and support more effective prevention strategies.

Duferco Travi e Profilati took part as industrial partner. The company actively contributed to the project activities and provided the industrial case study on which the research was based.

The Industrial Contribution

Within Duferco, the analysis focused on the Electric Arc Furnace area, one of the most complex operational environments in the plant. Process data and information from monitoring systems were collected and analysed. This enabled a deeper assessment of operating dynamics and the identification of patterns relevant to the prevention of critical situations.

The integration of sector safety data with industrial data made it possible to validate the model in a real production environment. The results confirmed its ability to support risk analysis in a highly complex industrial setting.

Dialogue Between Research, Institutions and Industry

The final workshop provided an opportunity for discussion between academia, institutions and industry. Representatives from Confindustria Brescia, ATS Brescia and INAIL Brescia also took part, offering complementary perspectives on safety in the steel sector.

The collaboration between universities, research centres and industry highlights the value of a coordinated approach. It strengthens the protection of people through advanced data analysis and supports the transfer of scientific expertise into practical industrial applications.
