OUR COMMITMENT
TO SAFETY
At Dickinson Group of Companies (DGC), the safety and well-being of our employees, clients, and contractors are of paramount importance. Safety is not simply a compliance requirement - it is a fundamental principle embedded in our operational philosophy and decision-making across the business.
As a fifth-generation family-owned company, we understand that sustaining excellence requires more than delivering results - it requires safeguarding the people who make them possible.
We are committed to maintaining the highest safety, health, environmental protection, and quality control standards, based on internationally recognised best practices. This commitment is demonstrated daily at our sites, facilities, and offices throughout Africa and beyond.
We aim for ZERO HARM, and we work collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure that every task is carried out with diligence, foresight, and responsibility.
SAFETY IN PRACTICE
DGC’s safety culture is supported by:
-
Rigorous internal safety management systems
-
Regular employee training and upskilling
-
Visible leadership and daily safety dialogues
-
Proactive hazard identification and risk mitigation
-
Emergency preparedness and site-specific response plans
-
Strong alignment with client and regulatory safety standards
We believe that safety is not a department - it is a mindset, a shared value, and a continuous practice.
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
“At DGC, we fully acknowledge the inherent safety risks associated with our work in asset integrity management and industrial services across the mining, metallurgical, glass, mineral processing, and manufacturing industries.
These realities have prompted us to institute numerous initiatives across the business to systematically identify, assess, and mitigate these risks. We are committed to cultivating a culture of safety that is both lived and led at all levels of the organisation. We encourage every employee to adopt the mindset that work can be performed without injury and that each person plays a role in upholding this principle.
We promote open, constructive health and safety dialogues in which all voices are valued. Through this shared responsibility, we aim to build a lasting culture of care and accountability.”
Trevor Dickinson
Chairman, Dickinson Group of Companies
