The long-term viability of our chrome mining and smelting business as well as sustainable value creation depends on continuous improvement in the company’s Safety, Health & Environmental Management Programmes.  It is Zimasco’s goal to be a good neighbour, concerned with the safety and health of our workers, welfare of the community and responsible management of the  environment.

Our SHE Management strategy includes, but is not limited to the following.

•    Safety, Health & Environmental Management  issues form part of any value creation decisions made by the business.
•    Establishing management systems to assess, monitor and control Safety, Health and Environmental risks associated with company operations.
•    Compliance with relevant legal, internal standards and international bodies that are concerned with matters of Safety, Health and Environment Management systems.
•    Participation in national bodies that are concerned with matters of SHE.
•    Educate, train and make improvements in all SHE management programs

The ultimate accountability for Safety, Health and Environment rests with the Chief Executive Officer.  This accountability is delegated to all levels of Management.  Compliance with this policy is mandatory for all employees. On an annual basis, Zimasco undergoes a rigorous Safety, Health and Environment audit, conducted by NOSA, an international SHE audit organisation.  All Divisions have attained the prestigios Platinum Five Star Rating.
