This is unacceptable," Harmony CEO Graham Briggs was quoted as saying in the company’s statement..."During these safety shifts, general managers will lead their senior teams underground, re-enforcing safety messages and procedures, particularly in respect of critical safety areas. "Unions will play an important role throughout this process in facilitating engagement and supporting leadership."
