HEALTH AND SAFETY AWARENESS WEEK 

Samartex Environmental Health (EHS) organized a safety awareness week between 5^th and 8^th August 2021 themed “Work Smart” aimed at educating and sensitizing workers on workplace safety. As part of the program, the Samartex EHS team had interactions with workers of the various departments through questions and observations. 

Concerns of workers on issues of safety were also received to better enhance workers' participation and involvement. Additional safety signs were mounted at various vantage points within the factory facility to enhance safety communication.

This included signs informing workers of forklifts, overhead cranes, large equipment, etc.

It also offered the EHS committee the opportunity to engage effectively with various representatives on better approaches to the enforcement of various safety rules and regulations for the factory.

The company was recently certified as an ISO 45001:2018 and hence this was an opportunity to showcase the achievement to the entire workforce and encourage all and sundry to commit and sustain the values established.
