Honours for grinding and rope operations

Scaw’s grinding media operation in Adesur, Peru and its Steel Wire Rope factory in Germiston, South Africa were finalists in the Anglo American plc Chief Executive Safety Award made earlier this year. This is an annual event in which the CEO of Anglo American acknowledges the businesses that have the best safety performances in the Anglo stable of companies worldwide.

Although neither operation won the top award, Anglo’s nomination is in itself a prize. The criteria for nomination are stringent and only those operations with outstanding safety records get noticed. Of the hundreds of businesses owned by Anglo, Moly-Cop® Adesur and Scaw Steel Wire Rope were two of only 14 operations to be selected.

Deirdré Lingenfelder, Scaw Metals’ group SHE manager, says, “Anglo businesses across the globe strive to win this competition. Being nominated means that you are already a winner in your division. Anglo sends out a CESA review team to each of the nominated operations. The review reports are evaluated by a judging panel, which then decides on the ultimate winner.

“Well done to Moly-Cop® Adesur and the Steel Wire Rope factory. You have made us proud!”
