The royal family's ongoing support highlights the profound societal impact of RoSPA's mission to create a world free from accidental injury.

RoSPA focuses on reducing accidents in all aspects of life—at home, on the road, at work, and during recreational activities. Its wide-ranging programs promote safety awareness, provide expert guidance, and offer professional training designed to create safer environments for individuals and organizations alike.

This new alliance complements SMTS Zambia’s existing relationships with other prestigious organizations, including the Zambia Chamber of Mines, the Zambia Occupational Health and Safety Association, AfriSAFE, IOSH, and TEVETA. 

Through these accreditations, SMTS Zambia continues to uphold the highest standards in occupational health and safety, aiming to make a tangible impact on the safety and well-being of workers across the country.

"At SMTS Zambia, we are committed to driving change and improving safety outcomes in all sectors. Our partnership with RoSPA will help us expand our reach and deliver better safety training and services to our clients," added Mwamba.
