TENCATE INDUSTRIAL ZHUHAI PERFORMS WELL ON HEALTH & SAFETY CONDITIONS<br />
Award for safety<br />
On 1 June this year <strong>TenCate</strong> Industrial Zhuhai received the Advanced Enterprise Award<br />
for Occupational Health and Safety Management 2010. The award was presented by the<br />
government authority of the Special Economic Zone of Zhuhai GaoLan Port. This is an<br />
acknowledgement of the company’s efforts to provide its employees with a safe workplace.<br />
<strong>TenCate</strong> Industrial Zhuhai was officially<br />
opened in June 2008. During the fifteen<br />
months prior to the presentation of the award<br />
all its health and safety systems were closely<br />
scrutinized and tightened up. This related to<br />
both improvements in the hardware and an<br />
increase in the employees’ knowledge and<br />
awareness of every aspect of safe working.<br />
A local government committee then carried<br />
out a strict and thorough inspection, during<br />
which they looked not only at the safety<br />
management systems but also examined<br />
absenteeism percentages, day-to-day<br />
developments and the involvement of<br />
management and employees in the working<br />
conditions. Another important factor in the<br />
granting of the award is the confidence that<br />
the company enjoys of the local government.<br />
<strong>TenCate</strong> Industrial Zhuhai believes that a<br />
good relationship is of great importance.<br />
Employees of <strong>TenCate</strong> Industrial Zhuhai with the award for safety in the workplace.<br />

For the company the award highlights the<br />
fact that excellent progress has been made<br />
in maintaining good working conditions.<br />

a boost to further improvements, and not just<br />
those in the field of working conditions only.<br />
We are now also competing for an award from<br />
both the city of Zhuhai and the province.’<br />
