From 0 to 5 NOSA stars: Hulref journey towards safety

摘要

The Tongaat-Hulett Sugar central Refinery in Durban has been in operation for over a century. For many decades, the culture that developed at the Refinery was an operational one and the main focus in terms of performance was on the technical aspect. Due to the changing environment both internally and externally, it became necessary for the management to change the culture from one that focused mainly on production to one that incorporates safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ). In this paper the journey that was undertaken to shift the focus to safer production practices will be discussed.
