Ireland employees named as Intel Safety Stars

​To coincide with World Day for Safety and Health at Work Intel recognised a number of safety stars from our sites around the world.

Amongst those recognised as Safety Stars were Leixlip based employees John Galway, Robert Gunning and John Hunt who were selected for their passion, innovation, teamwork, and commitment to a strong safety culture.

John Galway
As a member of the Intel’s dedicated emergency response team, John, who lives in Dublin, has continuously demonstrated his commitment to safety through his innovative designs and projects. He designed an ergonomic chemical response cart and an overhead camera to facilitate live practical classes during the COVID pandemic. John went above and beyond his job requirements to set up an NFC tagging system for use onsite, streamlining the program and improving efficiency.His dedication to ensuring compliance testing and training needs showcases his exceptional commitment to safety.

Robert Gunning and John Hunt
Robert Gunning, who is originally from Limerick City and now lives in Blackrock, Co. Dublin, together with John Hunt who lives in Muine Bheag, Co. Carlow, are part of the Control of Hazardous Energy (COHE) Audit App team.

The COHE Audit App team identified a need for a scalable and standardised auditing system as the Intel Leixlip site expanded. John and Robert worked together develop the COHE app. The app is designed to follow the COHE standard and allows for real-time data recording, making it easier to identify COHE trends and ensure compliance. The app has been in use in Fab 24 since late 2021 and has successfully conducted more than 500 audits. John shared the app with the Virtual Factory network to introduce a standardised approach to auditing, and Robert is supporting the technical rollout of the app.
