at work.
Twenty workers were last year dismissed at Barrick Lumwana Copper Mine in Kalumbila District for reporting for duty drunk.

Barrick Lumwana Mine has a Zero alcohol tolerance policy on the mine site and any employee that tests positive for alcohol is instantly dismissed.

Mine Human Resource Manager KASONDE MUSONDA told ZNBC News that the twenty were dismissed last year between January and December of 2023.

And Lumwana Mine Occupational Health and Safety Manager SAMUEL CHILESHE said of the twenty that were dismissed, five were direct employees of Barrick Lumwana Mine while fifteen were employees from contractors.

Mr. CHILESHE said the mine is facing compliance challenges among employees of mine contractors as they are the ones that usually do not abide by the zero alcohol policy set by the mine.

Meanwhile, Lumwana Sustainability Manager CHRISTOPHER MUKALA said the mine is focusing on prioritizing safety through the journey to zero program to ensure that no accidents are recorded on the mine site.
