I am a seasoned professional with a proven track record of enhancing workplace safety and efficiency. At Dorowa Minerals, I spearheaded a company-wide ergonomic risk study, which was instrumental in reducing musculoskeletal disorder incidents by an impressive 40%. My expertise extends to the successful implementation and auditing of ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001 systems, which I have executed across multiple sites within the Zandfontein group mines. In a pivotal role at Zandfontein Delwery, I took charge of blasting shift responsibilities since 2022 to present and have ensured strict legal compliance, significantly increasing operational safety and accountability. My strategic approach to incident management at Triangle Mining led to a 60% decrease in the recurrence rate, thanks to thorough root cause analysis and the implementation of effective corrective action programs. I have also led internal HSE training initiatives across three companies, fostering a robust compliance culture and reinforcing the importance of safety.

My responsibilities include conducting pre-operational risk assessments for new sites and devising tailored risk mitigation strategies.

Additionally, I provide expert advice on the selection and distribution of appropriate and effective personal protective equipment (PPE) for employees, ensuring their well-being and adherence to safety standards. EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATIONS
