Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Mbombela site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

In addition, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Mpumalanga.
