Smith concludes that a critical priority for Chryso Southern Africa is health and safety. “Safety is the number one priority. From our operations to the delivery, distribu- tion and supply of our products, we conform to all our customers’ health and safety requirements. Adherence to environmental regulations is also important, as we have to ensure that any potential spillage is contained, removed and disposed of in a responsible manner.”
