Putting health and safety first

At Laeveld Agrochem, we prioritise environmental health and safety (EHS) to ensure the well-being of our agents, growers, and the communities we serve. Under the leadership of Francois Nel, our EHS Manager, we have elevated compliance standards across all Laeveld Agrochem depots by providing comprehensive training and support to our agents.

In response to increasing regulatory demands in the agrochemical industry, we have implemented thorough assessments to identify areas for improvement. This foundational work guides our team in conducting annual sustainability audits to ensure compliance, manage risks, and stay ahead of changing legislation.

Key initiatives include:

  • Development of Laeveld Agrochem Environmental Health and Safety Standards.
  • Implementation of a detailed audit system to measure compliance.
  • Provision of integrated training for continuous improvement.
  • Ongoing engagement with regulatory authorities.
  • Support for resolving challenges and areas identified for improvement.

With our commitment to enabling a safe and sustainable agricultural environment by proactively addressing health and safety concerns, we aim to protect human health as well as the environment to ensure the longevity and success of our industry.

Belangrikheid van omgewingsgesondheid en veiligheid in die landbousektor

Omgewingsgesondheid en veiligheid (OGV) in landbou speel 'n kritiese rol om werknemers te beskerm, die omgewing te bewaar en aan wetgewing te voldoen. Effektiewe praktyke fokus op die identifisering, evaluering en beheer van risiko’s om voorvalle te verminder asook litigasie te voorkom.
