Maintenance shutdowns at pulp mills are big, carefully planned projects involving a huge number of people from both UPM’s own staff and contractor companies. At UPM maintenance shuts take place every 18 months to two years which means that planning of the next project begins immediately after the completion of a maintenance shutdown.   Our Pietarsaari pulp mill recently restarted operations after their maintenance shutdown and here’s the recap:   - More than 1,400 people were working at the mill site for roughly two weeks - Safety performance was at a fairly good level thanks to active recording of safety observations and improved usage of personal protection equipment. However, two lost time accidents were recorded but without any serious implications. - The Finnish spring created challenging weather conditions with ice cold winds and even snow  - The biggest and most demanding of altogether over 3,400 tasks completed was the revamp of the turbine.   Well done and a big thank you to all involved!   #FibresfortheFuture #upmpietarsaari #pulp
