Healthy and Safety

Health & Safety

Safety is non-negotiable and we are committed to achieving the highest global standards to ensure fatalities or injuries are prevented. We aim to create a culture whereby safety and wellbeing are embedded in the mentality of our team at all levels, and we believe that by doing so we can help prevent accidents, mitigate costs and operational downtime, and enhance our company productivity.

Formal training and development are combined with daily safety briefings and awareness campaigns on-site to foster a culture of safety among the STAMIGOLD team and Its Contractors to aim for a situation where everyone takes full accountability for their own safety and that of those around them. No aspect of our performance is considered more important than maintaining a safe working environment, and responsibility for this is held by everyone at STAMIGOLD. This is reflected in its application when evaluating the performance of all employees monthly, who are recognized for their safety awareness and performance to encourage safe practices. It is also the top key performance indicator when considering bonus awards for Executive Directors.

At STAMIGOLD, we ensure compliance with the statutory requirements as stipulated in the Tanzania Occupational Safety and Health Act (2003). To verify compliance, statutory inspection is carried out by the Tanzania Occupational Safety and Health Authority (OSHA) annually.

We recognize the importance of being fully prepared for any worst-case scenarios. Our specialized Emergency Response Team (“ERT”) are fully highly trained and fully equipped to deal with an emergency at STAMIGOLD has an Emergency Response Plan (“ERP”) and Emergency Crisis and Management Plan (“ECMP”) in use to instruct how the team should respond to an emergency.

ACHIEVEMENTS

STAMIGOLD Mine has distinguished itself as an exemplary Mine in considering Safety for its Workers. STAMIGOLD has been the only Mine that was able to reach more than Thirteen Million Hours (13,000,000+) without having an accident of loss of working time (LTI Free Man Hours). These safety achievements are attributed to the good Safety Management Systems in place that have become the guidelines for our daily lives and work.

It is not an easy thing to achieve the great success of safety for workers, but it is through strong cooperation between the Board of Directors of STAMIGOLD, the Administration of STAMIGOLD Company, the employees of the mother company and the contractors in order to achieve the goals of Safety for Employees.

AWARDS

Real examples of the success of Safety for Workers include STAMIGOLD getting various Safety Awards given by the Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) every year in the Safety Awards Celebrations and Competitions that coincide with the World Workers' Day Celebration.

STAMIGOLD Mine will continue to ensure that its Employees and Contractors are safe.
