Safety always a priority after 90 years in the welding business

Despite increasing legal pressure to ensure workplace safety, unsafe gas and electrical arc equipment continues to find its way into industry. This presents a legal risk to companies and a risk to the safety of their employees. As sub-Saharan Africa’s market leader in gases and welding products since 1927, Afrox continues to place utmost priority on safety and continuously strives to improve workplace safety at its customers’ sites through the company’s Safety Solutions Programme. Afrox’s Safety Solutions Programme was launched in 2005 to assist customers at management level and their SHEQ personnel in meeting legal requirements. This end-to-end solution begins with a detailed scope of work identifying all applications at customers’ sites, detailed onsite safety audits to identify unsafe practices in the workplace, and identifying gaps in compliance with the OSH Act and ISO specifications.
