Interfront 2024 Annual Report

INTERFRONT ANNUAL REPORT 2024 Health, Safety and Environmental Issues The Health and Safety Committee was established to ensure that Interfront meets its moral and legal obligations to safeguard and protect employees and visitors from injury, disease, and health and safety risks within the organisation. This committee is pivotal in fostering a safe and healthy working environment. To maintain compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, No. 85 of 1993, as amended, quarterly inspection reports are submitted to the Company Secretary and Manager of Corporate Services, who serves as the section 16(2) appointee. These inspections help identify and mitigate potential health and safety hazards, ensuring ongoing vigilance and proactive management of workplace safety. As part of our commitment to environmental responsibility, redundant IT hardware is recycled through a certified third party, supported by documented proof of proper disposal. This practice ensures that our electronic waste is handled in an environmentally friendly manner. Our systems and processes are mainly automated, significantly reducing our reliance on paper documentation. To further support our sustainability efforts, we have appointed a service provider to manage the collection, shredding and disposal of company documents as required. This initiative not only supports environmental sustainability but also enhances the security and confidentiality of our document disposal processes.
