56 ArcelorMittal South Africa Annual Report 2010 Socio-economic equity continued Nearly 1 000 houses will be re-roofed during 2011, the majority of which have the hazardous asbestos roofing material. Occupational health-related illness of former employees NGOs representing local communities in Vanderbijlpark have raised the issue of former employees with alleged occupational health-related illnesses. We have invested R1 million and health assessments on 294 individuals have been conducted to determine their state of health and the possibility of any illnesses being related to time spent working at the company. Any cases of occupational-health-related illnesses among former employees will be addressed in accordance with legislation and our obligation to support these people. Other individuals with nonoccupational-health-related illnesses will be referred to the relevant professionals within the public health sector to ensure they receive treatment. Investing in community CSI projects Around 80% of our CSI budget is dedicated to education projects with a specific focus on maths, science and technology. The other two focus areas are health, with a strong focus on HIV/Aids, and social promotion through infrastructure development and poverty alleviation. Flagship projects Our flagship CSI projects include the roll-out of ArcelorMittal Science Centres and the school building project which uses alternative steel construction methods. During the year we launched a new initiative providing greater support to the volunteer efforts of employees and encouraging a culture of giving and volunteerism among our people. Science centre project We currently have two working ArcelorMittal Science Centres. They benefit 1 200 learners from 45 different schools in the communities surrounding the Vanderbijlpark Works, and 800 learners from five schools in the Saldanha Bay communities. These learners attend the science centres once a week and receive education in mathematics, life sciences, physical sciences and scientific english. In 2010 we started work on our third and final science centre, commencing with the renovation of an existing facility in Newcastle. Once complete, this centre will benefit around 800 learners from 20 schools in the area.
57 ArcelorMittal South Africa Annual Report 2010 The R150 million school building project will result in two more schools being built during 2011 in KwaZulu- Natal and the Eastern Cape. The science centres have provided an excellent recruitment source for the company’s various bursary programmes (see the chapter on growing a robust skills pipeline for more details). In addition to the bursaries awarded by the company, 17 bursaries for engineeringrelated technician training at the Vaal University of Technology were also awarded. Amounts spent on the science centres consists of R8 million at Vanderbijlpark Works, R3.3 million for Saldanha Works, and R430 000 for Newcastle Works – a total investment of R11.8 million. Schools project using steel construction modalities The construction of the first school, in Mamelodi, was handed over to the Minister of Education in November 2010. Meetse-A- Bophelo Primary School now offers significantly improved facilities for its 1 500 learners. It was built using the latest steel construction technologies and stands as a model for the speed, environmental efficiency and costeffectiveness of steel construction modalities. We hope this model will be adopted more extensively in South Africa and become recognised for the valuable contribution it can make to solving housing, schooling and other infrastructural challenges. This school won the SA Institute of Steel Construction award for the best community development project in 2010. We plan to build a further two schools in 2011, Sizwe Primary in Newcastle and another to be determined by the Eastern Cape Department of Education. These schools form part of a R250 million commitment from us to improve education facilities in close partnership with the Department of Education. Employee social grants project Many of our employees do volunteer work in the communities in which we operate, and we applaud their efforts in this regard. To provide them with additional support and foster a culture of employees who are in touch with the communities we serve, we have established an employee volunteer fund. This will allow them to apply for grants of between R20 000 and R50 000, which will be channelled to specific projects benefiting local communities. Habitat for Humanity collaboration Our relationship with Habitat for Humanity continues to grow with the building of eight houses in 2009 and an additional eight houses in 2010 in Orange Farm. A further 10 houses will be built in Newcastle using Protea steel construction technologies. The Protea technology consists of a steel sandwich panel with polyurethane insulation on both the wall panels and the roof. The house will be built on a raft foundation and the technology allows the wall and roof structure to be erected in three days.
