As the MD of Monyetla Services I am very pleased to give you all a warm and hearty welcome to this Health and Safety Awareness day.

I am impressed by the range of people and businesses represented here today at this event. You form an important part of the Health and Safety System. I would also like to thank our suppliers for the effort and support shown today to make this day a success.

I am sure that we are all part of a community of people who passionately believe in our shared mission – preventing death, injury and ill health to those at work and those affected by work. This is a great event which brings a very large community of committed people with the same vision together.

Our mission is the prevention of death, injury and ill health. Everything we do is aimed at avoiding harm while enabling work activity to proceed. It is part of our mission to prevent harm to people at work and to those affected by work activities.

Every member has a fundamental right to work in an environment where health and safety risks are properly controlled. Risks is part of all of our lives all of the time, whether we are at work or at home, we therefore must learn to manage risks.

Work safety is maybe one of the most talks about topics in the industry. Every year thousands of workers are fatally injured at work while more and more people suffer non-fatal injuries and miss a day or two of work.

What is even worse than the statistics is that a great number of these deaths and injuries were due to carelessness and negligence and could have easily been avoided by paying more attention to safety guidelines. Employers are required to provide a safe workplace, but ultimately your safety at work is your own responsibility.

The lack of work safety is a big problem and we should do everything we can do to reduce the number of deaths and injuries at work. Thankfully, there are many things you can do to improve your own personal safety at work. You can create an atmosphere of safety awareness like we do here today among your co-workers and be aware of policies, practices and training. Be pro-active when it comes to work safety. Don’t wait for others to pick up the ball, while waiting you might get injured.

Knowing the rules and requirements is essential. Knowing how to apply that knowledge in practice in a way which motivates others is what really saves lives- and that’s the difference we’re all trying to make.

I thank you and enjoy the rest of your day.
