Kwamhlanga Assurance for Customers
Kwamhlanga, implemented plans to respond to disruptive incidents, such as COVID-19, while safeguarding the health of our employees and minimizing the impact on the delivery of services to you.
Kwamhlanga have put the following measures in place:
Working Remotely
For the majority of teams, work can be conducted through remote connections, which enables teams to work off-site for most tasks. Engineers are working separately and remotely where possible to mitigate the risk of an entire team becoming infected. Employees who must be on-site are applying social distancing and hygiene protocols based on guidance from health authorities.
Safety On-Site
Where on-site work is required (for example, essential Projects), staff who are on-site to accomplish specific tasks are spending only the minimum time required in locations. Additionally, teams have implemented schedules to reduce the number of people in a single location and to separate individuals in common teams as much as possible. Kwamhlanga has also sourced the necessary PPE for the protection of on-site teams. Disinfection Protocols.
Access
Site access is restricted to operational personnel only and following strict hygiene protocols.
Our Suppliers
Kwamhlanga are supported by a number of strategic suppliers and we are in contact with all of them continually to ensure they apply comparable mitigation practices with their teams, while still maintaining service levels.
Kwamhlanga Guidance to Employees
Kwamhlanga has established a Pandemic Task Team, working in tandem with health authorities, to coordinate all efforts around the COVID-19 situation and provide guidance to our staff.
Notable actions include but are not limited to:
Asking all employees to work remotely as much as possible, and wherever possible, essential Kwamhlanga offices remain open.
Initiating split-team options and select staff segregation for business-critical roles/functions.
Announcing the cancellation or postponement of physical events, and evaluating which events will be delivered as a virtual experience.
Restricting virtually all employee travel. Exceptions will be determined by Kwamhlanga management in consultation with our customers and in accordance with government regulations.
