Today, Zambia Sugar joins the global community in celebrating the vital role of employee safety on World Day for Safety and Health at Work. This year’s theme, “Revolutionizing Health and Safety – The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digitalization at Work,” is being commemorated in Kalumbila, North Western Province of Zambia.

Given the potential hazards in many industries and the constant advancements in technology, a proactive focus on safety is essential. Our established safety record and recognized leadership in prioritizing the safety of our employees, visitors, and contractors resulted in our invitation to the organizing committee for this significant event, hosted by the Ministry of Labour and Social.

Attending this important event allows us to demonstrate their AI and digitalization systems designed to reduce injury risks and ensure the safe return of all employees. It also presents an opportunity to network and benchmark against global best practices in occupational health and safety for ongoing enhancement.
