Vijay Naicker, CEO of Impro Logistics and Koos Snyman, CEO of FBN Transport Logistics have become the latest members of the Chemical and Allied Industries’ Association to sign the Responsible Care Public Commitment, thereby committing their companies to implementing the Guiding Principles of this voluntary initiative of the chemical industry.

Louise Lindeque, Responsible Care Manager says: “Companies such as Impro Logistics and FBN Transport provide an important service to the chemical industry by distributing our sector’s products throughout South Africa. We are delighted that these two companies have decided to sign the RC Public Commitment hereby demonstrating their commitment to supporting and implementing the RC codes and practices and working towards continually improving their company’s performance in the safety, health, and environmental arenas”.

Impro Logistics began its operations in 2011 and specializes in the transportation of break-bulk dangerous goods in South Africa including all areas of KZN, certain areas of the Eastern Cape, and Swaziland. Their trucks are fitted with cranes thereby eliminating the need for customers to unload vehicles themselves. The company has its headquarters in Umbogintwini in Durban from where it services chemical companies.

Mr. Naicker says: “The implementation of RC within our company will add value to the further development of our company’s existing health, safety and environmental management systems and policies. The health and safety of our employees, customers and related stakeholders is of paramount importance to Impro Logistics and we will do everything in our power to ensure that our company standards of safety and the protection of the environment are appropriately maintained.”

FBN Transport is a family run business that has been serving the needs of the SA transport industry for the past 25 years. They provide a number of services including the capability to transport dangerous goods, as well as warehousing. All cargo is handled under strict supervision and security. The company, who’s headquarters are in Congella, Durban, has also been audited to the requirements of the South African Safety and Quality Assessment System.

Mr. Snyman says “We want to ensure that FBN Transport continues to contribute towards the safer transportation of dangerous goods on our roads.  Our commitment to safe and healthy work practices will be strengthened by the RC codes and guidelines. Our employees and customers will benefit by our company implementing the requirements of this initiative.”

With over 150 companies that are signatories to the voluntary RC initiative in South Africa, this initiative is more than a set of principles and declarations. Through the sharing of information and a rigorous system of checklists, performance indicators and verification procedures, it enables the industry to demonstrate how it has improved over the years and to develop policies for further improvement. In these ways, RC helps the chemical industry to gain the trust of the public and to operate safely and sustainably, and with due care for the environment and future generations.
