Applying health and safety
is the right thing to do!
Amalgamated Pumping Supplies adheres to South Africa’s
Occupational Health and Safety Act, ACT 85 OF 1993,
which aims to provide for the health and safety
of persons at work and for the health and safety
of persons in connection with the activities of
persons at work, and to establish an advisory council
for occupational health and safety.
Amalgamated Pumping Supplies has implemented a management
system in the workplace to sustain employee wellbeing,
minimize risks to the bare minimum and to effectively
protect and control the utilization of our resources.
Safety, health and environmental governance are
acknowledged as being fundamental to business strategies
to enhance profitability. Furthermore the manifestation
thereof is essential in supporting the value of
“being a model corporate citizen” and
“valuing its people and their diversity”.
Safety and Health Management thus form part of management’s
and employees' day to day activities.
Improved Productivity:
Successful businesses realize
that preventing occupational injuries and illnesses
is important to an organization's overall performance.
For this reason the Directors at Amalgamated Pumping
Supplies agree that the company must excel in all
areas to be internationally competitive. Preventing
workplace incidents is cost-effective for both the
company as well as its workers.
Companies with higher standards in Occupational
Health and Safety are more likely to have higher
standards in other areas as well. At Amalgamated
Pumping Supplies we realize that Health and safety
and productivity are not mutually exclusive nor
are they inseparable.

we recognize the importance of all employees participating
