The Importance of Workplace Safety

Based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, David D’Addario is currently the chairman and chief executive officer of Dada Holdings, a company that makes control investments and manages companies in a variety of industries. Mr. D’Addario has 35+ years of experience leading industrial businesses.. Proper safety procedures are important for any type of industrial work, but David D’Addario ensures that his organizations adhere to specific safety precautions at all times.

While he was leading New Day Aluminum, Mr. D'Addario ensured that there was a zero tolerance policy for lack of compliance of internal safety regulations and many of those remain in place today. The company enacted multiple protocols to ensure its employees are as safe as possible. This includes always wearing the proper primary protective equipment, maintaining an awareness of safe handling procedures for different materials, and never bypassing the safety guards on dangerous operation areas and machines.

Additionally, New Day Aluminum’s employees must adhere to all relevant permit procedures for the task at hand and must use proper height protections when working in an area with a falling danger. Only authorized people are allowed to use mobile equipment, and other individuals nearby must always be aware of when they’re in use. By adhering to these policies, New Day Aluminum ensures the safety and health of its employees.

The Cardinal Shehan Center

With over three decades of experience in the metals industry, David D'Addario is the chairman and CEO of Dada Holdings LLC in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Outside of work David D'Addario is also involved in a number of charitable organizations. One of those organizations is the Cardinal Shehan Center in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The Cardinal Shehan Center provides diverse services to assist local children and teenagers from low income households.

Founded in 1962, the Cardinal Shehan Center is owned by the Diocese of Bridgeport. It primarily serves the inner city Bridgeport area, but it also accepts people in need from the lower Fairfield County area more broadly. It serves about 4500 youth annually.

The Cardinal Shehan Center offers physical, academic, and social support to the youth they serve.

At-Home Recycling Tips

As chairman and CEO of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based company New Day Aluminum LLC, David D'Addario has over 30 years of experience in the metals industry. Since 1984, David D’Addario has led and reformed multiple aluminum recycling efforts. There are many ways you can recycle diverse materials at home with minimal financial or time investment.

Different cities have different recycling guidelines. Even so, there are ways you can maximize the amount of usable recyclable materials you put in your residential recycling bin. First, check your city’s website for its guidelines because each location has different drop-off locations for different materials, and they collaborate with third-party recycling companies to offer the service.

One important rule is that the recyclable material must be clean so it can be recycled properly. Clean containers until they are clean enough to be used again. If a portion of a container is clean, but the rest cannot be cleaned, like a greasy pizza box, place only the clean part in your curbside recycling bin.

Multiple factors can render an otherwise-eligible batch of recyclables unfit for a processing facility. One is the presence of one-use plastic bags, like grocery or sandwich bags, which can jam machinery. Another problem is if the material is too small, which can cause the same problem. Find the proper drop-off site for single-use bags, and don’t recycle anything smaller than a credit card.

The Workplace Safety Commitment

Serving as the chairman and CEO of New Day Aluminum Holdings, LLC, David D'Addario delivers alumina and bauxite production solutions to clients worldwide. One foundational aspect of the company David D'Addario helps lead is workplace safety, with this commitment extending to employees, partners, and visitors.

Among the stringent protocols and procedures enforced at New Day Aluminum worksites is the wearing of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Height protections are in place to avoid falls, and safety guards are used on equipment in areas that present hazards. Additionally, workers must make all pedestrians or visitors in the general vicinity aware when any machines are in use.

Material handling is another area of significant concern. Employees must ensure that they follow all safe handling steps while they haul, move, and transport materials. Workers must adhere to permit procedures and confine work to the spaces where it is allowed.

Training and education on shared workplace rules are essential parts of the New Day Aluminum Holdings ethos. The aim is to avoid injuries, boost situational awareness, and make following protocol second nature. The company’s emphasis is on strictly adhering to internal rules and guidelines and complying with all government regulations.

Noranda Alumina to Be a Site of Rare

An established natural resources executive, David D'Addario guides alumina and bauxite production at sites in Jamaica and Louisiana. In addition to serving as the chairman and CEO of New Day Aluminum Holdings LLC, David D’Addario oversees Noranda Alumina. The latter is a subsidiary operation in St. James Parish, Louisiana, that is part of DADA Holdings.

As reported in The Advocate, Toronto-headquartered Enervoxa, a green technology company, is partnering with DADA Holdings to create ElementUS. Bauxite residue is left in piles on site after the smelting process for alumina extraction. The companies aim to extract materials from this residue at Noranda Alumina’s $800 million plant.

The extracted rare earth elements from the residue are commercially valuable: they are used in the manufacture of smartphones, batteries, magnets, and flat-screen televisions. The elements are also essential to the crafting of industrial products such as medical scanning equipment, electric vehicles, and aircraft engines.

This solution not only reduces Noranda’s environmental footprint but also addresses dependence on suppliers in China for minerals used in technology. Existing in limited quantity and always in high demand, rare earth elements have a vital role in national defense and ensuring US commercial growth. The project will result in the hiring of 200 additional ElementUS workers at a Gramercy plant.

An Overview of Bauxite and Its Uses

A resident of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, David D’Addario has been working in the metals industry for the last three decades. Since 2001, David D’Addario has served as the CEO and chairman of New Day Aluminum, LLC, which specializes in mining and processing metals such as aluminum and bauxite.

Bauxite is an ore that is rich in aluminum and has different uses in the production of refractory materials that are used in various types of cement and chemicals. Refractory materials are also used in the steel industry, fuel, and building materials.

Bauxite comes in the form of a sedimentary rock before it is processed. This ore is classified into two different types, gibbsite and boehmite, which use low-heat and high-heat processing methods, respectively. Gibbsite is the more valuable of the two types. This is due to the lower melting temperature of the metal. Alumina is extracted from bauxite ore through various chemical processes.
