| Shaft Sinkers achieves 1-million fatality free shifts, again - 30 July 2007 |
One of Africa's most experienced mining contractors, Shaft Sinkers is proud to announce that it achieved 1-million fatality-free shifts on 23 July 2007 - for the third time since 2001.
Safety is vital to Shaft Sinkers’ business and, as such, in February this year, the company launched an internal safety campaign that urged employees to work towards achieving one-million fatality free shifts.
Divisional Director, Corporate Services, Tom Pietrzak says that to achieve this milestone, each of the company’s employees took control of the safety of themselves and their colleagues. What’s more, their positive attitude, commitment to reporting unsafe acts and accepting coaching and corrective teaching in a positive spirit contributed greatly to this achievement.
Shaft Sinkers was the first mining contracting company in South Africa to achieve 1-million fatality-free shifts in 2001. We did it again in 2003 and now in 2007. Looking ahead, we will be launching a plan to reach 2-million fatality-free shifts.
In order to improve the company’s safety behaviour, the Safety, Health, Environment, Quality & Training (SHEQT) department embarked on a renewed drive to promote Behavioural-Based Safety (BBS) and a Zero Tolerance to harmful acts working style among Shaft Sinkers’ workforce. This latest BBS safety campaign began in the latter part of April 2007 and the benefits of the campaign have already been realised.
