Message from our Contract Manager on Safety Risks and Assurance

“Our Safety Commitment” We identified the safety risks associated with our business activities and work together to reduce these

risks through mitigating controls. Many people see risks in business and believe that if they are covered,

the issue is resolved. Just like driving a car is accompanied by risks, we in Alberton must make provision

Transport Safety

Road transport is the key to our business activities. Our road safety philosophy focuses on the areas of risk such as the capability of the driver, condition of

the vehicle, road conditions and local environment. We want to strive to achieve this through:

• An informed culture where the BVO’s understand the hazards and risks involved in their own field of operations so they can identify and overcome

threats of safety.

• A just culture whereby errors are understood, but knowing that wilful violations are not tolerated.

• The Staff know and agree on what are best practices.

• A reporting culture where we encourage the voicing of safety concerns, and when we do so, those concerns are analysed and appropriate action is

taken.

• A learning culture where the BVO’s are encouraged to develop and apply their own skills and knowledge in order to enhance workplace safety. We

therefore update the BVO’s on safety issues and reporting.
