DEBSWANA LAUNCHES NEW SAFETY PROGRAMME

The Voice The ECOHS initiative which was officially launched by the Chief Executive Officer of the Botswana Chamber of Mines (BCM) Charles Siwawa in Orapa on Tuesday is expected to achieve total safety for the diamond mining’s employees, its stakeholders and the surrounding community.

“It is a leap from a year of injuries to a year of zero harm , charaterised by zero tolerance to substandard conditions and behaviours; zero repeats, zero pollution and negative biodiversity impacts. A year in which our embrace the fact that all injuries and occupational illness can be prevented”, said the Orapa Mine Plant Manager, Kgolagano Banabotlhe.
