At SMTS, going the extra mile means looking beyond the service we deliver and paying attention to the value we create for every client.

This Customer Service Week, we celebrate the clients, partners and organisations who continue to trust us, challenge us and grow with us.

SMTS IN ACTION | MEWP TRAINING

Taking the work higher also takes the risk higher.

Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) give businesses the reach they need to carry out work at height but safe operation requires more than knowing how to move the machine.

Operators need to understand the equipment, the working environment, stability, access, hazards and the controls that keep people safe while working at elevation.

Here’s SMTS Zambia in action during a practical MEWP training session, turning knowledge into hands-on competence.

We’re proud to be part of Africa’s largest and most prestigious HSSESQ event — the Africa Safety Congress 2026.

SMTS is joining industry leaders and safety professionals in Accra, Ghana, from 5–6 November 2026 at Labadi Beach Resort, under the theme:

“Safeguarding Lives. Securing the Future.”

As a sponsor, we’re looking forward to connecting, sharing knowledge and contributing to conversations that continue to shape a safer Africa.

Safety is not just a requirement. It is an investment in people, businesses and the future.

It’s when the deadline is tight, the supervisor is away, and taking the shortcut seems easier.

That is where safety culture shows itself in the everyday decisions people make when no one is there to correct them.

This week, build a workplace where doing what is right becomes the standard, not the exception.

We expect fast, reliable internet to keep up with the world, stay close to loved ones, run our businesses and get things done without interruption. But behind every connection is infrastructure and people working to install, maintain and keep that network running.

For many telecommunications workers, that means working at height, often on poles, towers and elevated structures where one mistake can have serious consequences.

Airlink Broadband Ltd. is at the SMTS Zambia Training Centre for Working at Height Training, strengthening the knowledge and practical understanding needed to manage these risks.

When the right people understand what to look for, what to report and how to engage with safety issues, organisations are better positioned to identify risks early and act before they become incidents.

Yesterday, SMTS Zambia conducted SHE Representative Training for Trade Kings Home Care at its Mumbwa Road Branch, strengthening the people who play a critical role in recognising hazards, raising safety concerns and supporting safer practices in the workplace.

Thank you to Trade Kings Home Care for choosing to invest in safety capability.

🔥𝟓𝐅𝐌 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐓𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 | 𝐊𝐄𝐘 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒

This morning, our Sales Development Officer, Lekiwe Mulenga, joined 5FM for a practical conversation on: Hot Season Safety: Preventing Heat Stress and Fire Emergencies

As temperatures rise, staying safe means paying attention not only to how the heat affects our bodies, but also to how hot, dry conditions can affect the environment around us.

Here are some key takeaways:

☀️ 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐝.

Feeling hot is one thing. When heat begins affecting your body, concentration and ability to work safely, it becomes a safety concern.

💧 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬.

Dizziness, weakness, excessive thirst, confusion and unusual fatigue should not simply be ignored.

⏸️𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲.

Water, breaks, shade, ventilation and appropriate clothing can help reduce the effects of working in the heat.

🔥𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Dry grass, paper, cartons and other combustible materials can make a fire more difficult to control.

⚠️𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 “𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥” 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝.

A fire should be treated seriously from the moment it is detected, with people’s safety coming before property.

🏠 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

At home, in a market, salon, workshop, office or small business, identify heat sources and keep flammable materials away from them.

🚨𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐭.

The goal is not to wait for an emergency. Recognise the hazard early and take action before it becomes one.

In case you missed it.

“Everything around us can become fuel when it’s extremely hot. Dry grass, leaves, litter, wood and dried-out structures can ignite much faster. A small flame in October can spread to a field, market or house within minutes, especially with strong winds. Unlike during the rainy season, the dry conditions make fires spread much more easily.”
