BBL wins five-star safety award for the third time

The award, which is the highest of the star ratings, ensures that companies have thorough processes in place to manage occupational health, hygiene and quality management.  The NOSA system also focuses on processes that manage social responsibility in the workplace.  A BBL representative, Larona Makgoeng, spoke about Project Tshelang, which is the company's managed health care system that offers free anti-retroviral drugs to employees and their immediate dependents as well as medical assistance for chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension and asthma.

Said General Manager of Botswana Breweries (Pty) Ltd, Thomas Mpedi, of the award: "This award brings to life the quality credentials that we strive for as underpinned by the framework on sustainable development, which we deem fundamental to how we do business."  The NOSA five star standard is implemented by international organisations the world over, providing them with a rock-solid framework for managing workplace health and safety programmes.
