Integrity and trust are necessary conditions for the sustainability of businesses, says SGS South Africa sustainability team leader and strategic transformation manager Viviane Lokale.

The students that complete the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management-approved course will strengthen Eskom, or the companies that employ them, by fulfilling detailed, technical and international-grade inspection and safety compliance roles.

The training will improve the success of businesses they join and, thereby, the sustainability of jobs created while improving safety, health and risk compliance, confirms Eskom Grootvlei maintenance manager Lourence Chauke.

Skills that support the sustainability and success of formal businesses in an ecosystem, such as within electricity generation supply chains and services, are relevant and valuable, Lokale emphasises.

Vivian Lokale details some of the key elements of the safety, health and quality training.
