Thokozani Mdluli,
group executive
responsible for safety |
We aspire for zero harm to the
safety of all our employees,
our company, its shareholders,
clients and business partners,
the natural and built
environment impacted by
our operations, and society
at large.
Zero harm is an aspiration that drives our
strategy and response to health, safety and
environmental (HSE) challenges. Strong
leadership and continuous motivation and
education of our employees to take
responsibility for themselves, their colleagues
and the environment are key elements of
our HSE strategy. Through this we strive to
embed HSE values and a safety culture built
on the principle of STOP.THINK.
The social, economic and health dynamics
in our South African environment have a
profound impact on our employees. This
increases the need for strong leadership and
focused management to maintain personal
responsibility and effective communication
across every level of the organisation. In the
strength of our geographic and cultural
diversity lies a greater demand for clear,
consistent and timeous information on
the importance and rationale for an organisational culture that supports a zero
harm philosophy.
To assist with a change in safety culture,
Murray & Roberts has appointed DuPont
Sustainable Solutions to undertake a
comprehensive evaluation of the Group’s
South African operations against best
practice standards and to develop a set of
continuous improvement recommendations.
Murray & Roberts subscribes to the principle
that the risks of climate change associated
with increasing greenhouse gas (GHG)
concentrations in the atmosphere should be
addressed through accelerated action,
guided by the United Nations Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change.
An energy management initiative has been
launched to ensure effective and efficient
use of energy, and to reduce energy cost
without compromising productive output,
while leading to a lower carbon footprint.
