Industry Spotlight - Elevi Cacho

We're recognizing the individuals that are actively supporting commercial/industrial refrigeration. The following is a brief look into Elevi Cacho background and what advice he has to share with others.

"How did you get introduced to the industrial workforce"?

As a forklift technician, my work ethic and integrity impressed a refrigeration manager while I was servicing his equipment. He was seeking someone he could trust to operate the ammonia refrigeration system and offered me the opportunity. Despite not fully understanding what I was getting into, I accepted it, and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made.

“What part of the job makes you want to stay in this industry?”

I want to stay in this industry because I thrive on the challenges it presents and the opportunity to help provide a safer work environment

“What recent industry related challenge have you conquered and are proud to have prevailed over?”

One challenge I face in my industry is the perception surrounding General Duty Clause facilities. Many of these facilities believe that staying under regulatory thresholds exempts them from necessary safety tasks, leading to the impression that compliance efforts are burdensome and pointless. I continuously work to shift these perceptions, fostering a stronger commitment to workplace safety and encouraging proactive engagement with safety practices.

“What is your favorite job task that you enjoy in this field?”

I enjoy engaging with new people, sharing knowledge and perspectives, and gaining insights from them in return.

“If you could give your younger self advice when you first started, what advice would that be?”

Get into the ammonia industry ASAP.

“What professional accomplishment do you aspire within the next three years?”

My goal is to continue professional growth while also providing exceptional service to the ammonia industry.
