Health and Safety

Shalina Resources is committed to best practices of employee health and safety and achieves excellent safety results through continuous training and development and offering free health consultations to all employees and their families.

Safety is the first and foremost consideration in all business operations. All operations are regularly assessed by qualified persons according to three standards: Task Hazard Assessment (THA), Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and Hazard and Operational Study (HazOp). The Company follows a system of internal audits to ensure continuous operation and minimize loss accident time. External Auditors are employed from Britain to advise on the Health and Safety of all Shalina activities.

Continued employee training and development gives employees an opportunity to develop their skills and competencies. Shalina believes that through knowledge and awareness employees can truly become world class. Included in the training programme are courses on fire fighting, mock drilling, welding safety, electrical safety, work in confined spaces, use of rope and lifting safely, among many others.

Throughout the Company’s history it has maintained that continuous training is the best tool to improve work conditions. To this end, Shalina is committed to continually providing training sessions to raise health levels among all employees.

Shalina Resources strives to eliminate any risk of occupational illness that might arise from working at the operations and provides employees with an onsite medical facility permanently staffed with a doctor and nurses. If required staff are taken to the Shalina Polyclinic for treatment.

All staff have free meals and water everyday at the canteen and free transport to and from the plant. For many people they are providing for large families and their physical health is important to that end.
