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 />

Twenty companies<br />

<strong>TenCate</strong> Industrial Zhuhai was one of only<br />

twenty (of the more than six hundred)<br />

companies in this economic region to whom<br />

this award was presented. These also included<br />

foreign companies such as BP and Shell.<br />

For the company the award highlights the<br />

fact that excellent progress has been made<br />

in maintaining good working conditions.<br />

‘Our commitment to safety does not <strong>end</strong> here’,<br />

said general director Nang Young. ‘It has given<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 />
