Our success is dependent on our workforce. Specialised skills training, paying a fair wage and employment of Tanzanian nationals are just some of the measures we are committed to so as to ensure the wellbeing of our employees. Our practices are in full compliance with International Labour Organisation standards (ILO) standards and our health and safety policies go above and beyond the standards set by the Occupational Health and Safety Authority Act.

• Paying our employees fairly.

• Establishing robust health and safety policies that go above and beyond the standards set by the Occupational Health and Safety Authority Act.
• Ensuring that the average percentage of Tanzanian employees among TCM members is high, currently it stands at over 95%, and that our members give priority to local applicant where comparable candidates are available.
• Support of employee’s rights to trade union membership Member support for CSI programs to diversify economy and foster alternative livelihoods outside of mining.
