Africa Safety Star - June 2025

Congratulations to Doctor, Team Leader at our branch in Middelburg, on being named the Africa Safety Star for June 2025.

 

Doctor received this award for solving two key safety issues in the workshop: manual handling strain and unclear chemical labelling. He identified that the heavy oil and coolant containers used post-servicing were causing strain during lifting.

To reduce injury risk, Doctor proposed repurposing durable oil containers and went on to redesign the containers with new ergonomic handles to make them safer to handle.

He also replaced handwritten chemical labels, which often rubbed off or faded, with durable stickers - improving both safety and compliance.

 

These simple, effective changes are already being adopted across other Babcock sites.

 

Doctor’s initiative reflects Babcock’s commitment to practical innovation and long-term safety.

 

Well done, Doctor - your actions are making a lasting difference.
