Afri-Mining is committed to the administration of a comprehensive safety program that promotes the health and safety of each of the company's employees working in the head office or on the client's site.

Safety is a partnership wherein the Company and the Employee share the responsibilities and accountabilities. The success of Afri-Minings safety program relies not only on management commitment to provide a safe work environment, but on the individual commitment of each employee to uphold safe working practices. Serious safety attitude is the key contribution which employees must adhere to in order to reduce the risks of injury and promote a safety conscious environment. Afri-Mining management will undertake necessary actions, as far as reasonably practicable to ensure that OH&S and Industry Standards are met or exceeded.

Afri-Mining will always continue to do its best in creating and providing the necessary programs, information and environment that will promote an injury free workplace.

Together we can achieve a safe and healthy work environment that protects the well-being of Afri-Mining employees, customers, visitors and other parties involved. Whilst implementing this policy we seek to achieve high standards. We do not pursue this aim simply to comply with current legislation, which we regard as a minimum requirement, but in order to demonstrate continual improvements for the health, safety and welfare of all our staff.
