Kagem Awarded the Zero Harm Impact Award
Kagem was awarded with the Zero Harm Impact Award at the inaugural Zambia Safety Awards for Excellence (“ZASAA”), in recognition of having the highest impact on safety performance in Zambia and the company’s sustained achievement of four consecutive years without Lost Time Injury.
Set to be an annual event, ZASAA is a national initiative established to promote and recognise excellence in occupational health and safety across Zambia to advance the Vision Zero agenda. Pioneered by Safety Management Training Services (“SMTS”) Zambia, the initiative has been endorsed by the Zambia Occupational Health and Safety Association (“ZOHSA”); is supported by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and the Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development, and has further partnered with the African Vision Zero Network to strengthen the culture of safety and decent work.
“This award reflects our deep commitment to the well-being of every employee, and is a testament to a people-first approach that places safety alongside operational excellence at the core of how we mine,” said Benedict Bukoka, Head of SHEQ, Kagem
The Zero Harm Impact Award further strengthens Kagem’s growing record of national safety recognition, including the Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development Permanent Secretary’s Safety Award (2024 and 2025), recognition by the Zambia Chamber of Mines as Zambia’s safest mining company, and recognition earlier this year by the Minerals Regulation Commission for four consecutive years without a lost time injury. Kagem has now surpassed 13 million LTI-free hours.
