SHEQ Forum meetings around the corner

Published: 03/11/2022

Gerard Ramage, SHEQ manager at the VKB Group, reached out to Agbiz and Agbiz Grain during this year, requesting the establishment of a SHEQ forum which would allow for the dissemination of information relating to health and safety practices in the workplace. Agbiz Grain has consequently set up an internal SHEQ committee to provide inputs and arrange future workshops.

The newly established SHEQ Forum held its first workshop in September this year, focussing on the legislation governing health and safety aspects. The workshop was presented by Lucinda van Rensburg of Implex. The forum will be held quarterly, and the outputs of each forum will be reworked into article format by Plaas Media, and published in subsequent issues of Agbiz Grain Quarterly. The first article based on the September workshop appears elsewhere in this issue

The second Agbiz Grain SHEQ Forum workshop will be held on 29 November 2022 from 09:00 to 10:30 via Microsoft Teams. The meeting will focus on legislative and compliance requirements relating to electrical installations and hazardous classification zoning.

To be invited to the quarterly SHEQ Forum, register the contact details of your SHEQ official with Annelien Collins at annelien@agbizgrain.co.za.
