How We Enforce Safety
Quality Assurance Management System
IGOZOMO operates a robust Quality Assurance Management System focused on mitigating the top five workplace risks. The system is staffed by a team of experts and contributes to a zero-harm environment across all operations.
Sections 22 & 23 — Mining Health and Safety Act
Practical knowledge of Sections 22 and 23 of the Mining Health and Safety Act is entrenched across the organisation. All site managers and supervisors are trained and certified in these critical regulatory requirements.
Monthly Safety Audits
Each site manager and supervisor compiles a monthly safety roster featuring predetermined safety indicators. Monthly audits — both surface and underground — are conducted to measure compliance across all active sites.
Audit Results & Action Plans
Audit results are presented at monthly IGOZOMO meetings, where solutions and actions are devised to deal with non-compliance. This ensures continuous improvement and accountability at every level of the organisation.
Weekly Incident Reporting
Bottom-up incident reporting is used weekly to identify areas for behaviour or systems improvement. This proactive approach catches potential hazards before they become incidents.
Certificates of Competency
All supervisory staff — Site Managers, Area Managers, and General Managers — hold the appropriate Certificates of Competency as required by Tanzanian mining regulations.
