Specialist cleaning, decontamination and waste services provider SafeGroup has strengthened its standards and compliance team with the recruitment of qualified health and safety professional Nkosana Moyo.
Nkosana has been appointed as Safety Health Environment and Quality Officer at SafeGroup and is playing a key role in establishing the company’s compliance with international business standards.
SafeGroup Group Health Safety and Compliance Manager Adam Wilkinson said: “Nkosana’s appointment reflects our commitment to continuously improve the systems that underpin our desire to deliver exceptional customer service.
“SafeGroup has ambitious plans for growth which will be underpinned every step of the way by compliance with recognised standards. Nkosana is working with teams across the company to achieve that.”
He said: “I became interested in health and safety while working as a Health and Social Care NVQ Trainer and Assessor and seeing how important to have safe systems of work in preventing workplace injuries, fatalities and ill-health.
“Every day I wake up with one single aim: to do all I can to make sure SafeGroup colleagues, and everyone they meet during their time at work, go home safe and well.
“I want to help to continually improve our safe working practices in consultation with my colleagues, including our clients and sub-contractors, so we all embrace, work and live by SafeGroup’s Home Safe Everyday pledge.”
Nkosana holds a NEBOSH General Certificate and is a qualified ISO auditor. He is working with colleagues to prepare SafeGroup to achieve ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 in the next 12 months.
SafeGroup teams carry out some of the most challenging specialist cleaning and waste collection tasks in the UK so health and safety is already part of the company’s culture, he said.
He added: “SafeGroup, as a business, already has a philosophy that work done safely is work done well and that setting high standards is critical. I am working alongside colleagues to help embed that positive health and safety culture in clearly demonstrable operational processes.”
