Environment, health & safety
The Group is committed to:
- achieving high standards of environmental care and
to providing a safe and healthy workplace for employees,
contractors and other affected persons;
- implementing accepted safety, occupational health
and environmental management systems; and
- complying with all applicable environment, health
and safety legislation as a minimum requirement and
implementing programmes and processes to achieve greater
protection, where appropriate.
Mvelaphanda Group’s businesses and investments operate
in a variety of industry sectors, and as such the responsibility
for compliance with general and industry-specific environment,
health and safety legislation has been devolved to individual
Group companies. The Group encourages and supports compliance
with all such legislation, which includes the Occupational
Health and Safety Act, the Mine Health and Safety Act
and the implementation of hazard analysis and critical
control point procedures (HACCP).
Training for the appointed Occupational Health and
Safety representatives is provided by the individual
Group companies.
Mvelaphanda Group is not currently actively involved
in operating businesses which have responsibility for
the direct negative impact on the natural environments
in which they operate. These responsibilities are largely
retained by the clients of the Group’s operating companies.
