Zero Harm · MHSA Compliant · OHSA Compliant · Every Site · Every Shift
Safety is not a policy document at Mafate — it is the foundation of every operation we run. Our people, our clients, and the environments we work in are protected by rigorous safety systems, continuous training, and an uncompromising zero-harm commitment.
At Mafate Business Enterprises, safety is a core operational priority — not a compliance checkbox. Every project we undertake, every site we operate on, and every employee we deploy is governed by the same non-negotiable standard: zero harm to people, equipment, and the environment.
We are committed to maintaining a safe, clean, and healthy working environment across all our divisions — including chrome mining, asphalt, readymix concrete, plant hire, and supply services. Our safety culture begins at management level and is enforced consistently down to every worker on site, every shift, every day.
Mafate operates in full compliance with the Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). All site inductions, method statements, risk assessments, and safety files are prepared and maintained to the standard required by our clients and the law.
Zero harm is the only acceptable outcome on any Mafate project site. This commitment applies to every employee, every subcontractor, every visitor — and to the communities and environments surrounding our operations.
Our health and safety framework is built on proven industry practices, enforced by qualified safety officers, and reviewed continuously to ensure our operations meet and exceed the standards required by law and by our clients.
Every Mafate employee undergoes routine medical examinations conducted by accredited occupational health practitioners before deployment on any mine or industrial site. No employee is placed on site without a current certificate of fitness.
Medical examinations are conducted in accordance with the Mine Health and Safety Act and specific client requirements. Certificates are maintained, renewed on schedule, and made available to site management and principal contractors.
Mafate has qualified safety officers and structured risk management systems in place on all active project sites. Our approach to risk is proactive — we identify, assess, and mitigate hazards before they lead to incidents.
Risk assessments are conducted for every task type before work commences. These are reviewed regularly, updated when site conditions change, and communicated to all personnel through the toolbox talk programme.
Mafate Business Enterprises recognises that mining and construction activities carry environmental responsibilities that extend beyond the site boundary. We are committed to conducting all operations in a manner that minimises environmental impact and protects the natural surroundings of every project we undertake.
Our environmental practices are embedded in our project planning, site management, and operational procedures. We comply with all applicable environmental legislation and the site-specific environmental management plans of our clients.
We actively monitor our operational footprint — from dust and noise management to waste disposal and contamination prevention — and take corrective action immediately when standards are not met.
Mafate Business Enterprises is committed to ensuring the safety of our people, our clients, and the environment in every project we undertake.
