SAFEmap Africa works very closely with SAFEmap International and has full access to all behavioural safety research and development, tools and expertise. As illustrated by its significant successes in the mining industry in South Africa. SAFEmap Africa is uniquely placed to blend the sophisticated tools of behaviour-based safety with the African environment.
SAFEmap Africa is a uniquely African company.
The principals of the company are very experienced in the cross-cultural management environment of Africa.
Francois Smith is the Managing Director of SAFEmap Africa. He has worked in safety and related fields locally and internationally for 20 years and has vast experience in safety engineering, conventional safety and behaviour-based safety. His thesis for his Masters Degree in Safety Management (USA) dealt with the critical success factors that are required to implement behaviour-based safety programs successfully. As Corporate Safety Manager for Iscor and later Kumba Resources he was directly involved in the successful implementation of safety and health (including behaviour-based safety) programs in these organisations.
The Chairman of the company is Corrie Pitzer (who is also the Chief Executive Officer of SAFEmap International). Corrie has extensive experience in the African management environment; he was educated in South Africa and worked there until 1991.
