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.

Noranda Alumina Supplies Cemtech

David D'Addario is an accomplished senior business executive with three decades of leadership experience in the metals industry. More than two decades of that, David D'Addario has served as the chairman and chief executive officer of New Day Aluminum LLC and its Noranda Alumina and Noranda Bauxite subsidiaries.

In 2020, New Day Aluminium Holdings LLC executed a letter of intent through its subsidiary Noranda Alumina, with Cement Materials Corporation. The agreement entails Noranda Alumina supplying 60,000 tonnes of bauxite residue for cement production. An aluminum-rich ore, bauxite is an efficient raw material in chemical and cement industries. This is preceded by an approval from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) for the use of bauxite residue in the cement industry.

The Chairman and CEO of New Day Aluminium Holdings, David D'Addario, stated that the corporation is committed to the enhancement of the sustainability of the business while simultaneously mitigating the environmental footprints of industrial processes.
