ImproChem regards the Safety, Health and well-being of their Employees as being of paramount importance in the ongoing success of their operations.

Recently, Christel Fouche and Riekie van den Berg helped the ImproChem SHE-team to put the final touches to their new Safety program.

At Millstream near Dullstroom, the Advantage ACT team met with Peter Lombaardt (SHE Engineer), Lynda Mercado (SHE Officer), Dawn MacKenzie (SHE Administrator) and Derek Arnoldi (Corporate SHE Manager) to discuss the final details before the launch.

At ImproChem, Safety always comes first and takes precedence over operational practices.

That is why, for the past 4 months, the SHE team have been working on a new im-PROSHE Safety program that will be launched to their Salesforce in March 2010.

“With the assistance and guidance of Advantage ACT, we can only be successful, and look forward to a great and SAFE 2010 and beyond.” said Improchem’s Corporate SHE Manager, Derek Arnoldi after the very successful strategy meeting.
