Potential traffic hazard by Bosai’s Linden operations
Dear Editor,
It is common knowledge that the people of Linden welcome the investment by Bosai Minerals Group in the Bauxite Industry and hope for their success in attempting to revitalize this important economic life line of the Linden community.
However, despite our current economically depressed condition, it is expected that Bosai will respect the citizens of Linden and most assuredly the environment in which they operate.
The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention a very unwelcome development within the industrial practice of our most welcomed investor, Bosai. From the inception of the Bauxite Industry, the operators always sought to separate industrial activities from interconnecting with the mainstream communal activities of the residence of the mining town.
The main Bauxite Plant operations was always fenced, the railway leading to the west bank mines was fenced, to highlight a few. Today the Bosai operation presents a major traffic hazard, particularly to the residence of Noitgedacht, McKenzie. At present the company employs a fleet of contractor trucks and fails to provide a safe location within the confines of their operations for the routine parking, maintenance and repair activities of this fleet.
These trucks can be found parked along the road (entrance to Noitgedacht), within a few yards of a junction of the most busy roadway within Linden. The truck operators conduct all their repair and maintenance works at this location, dumping their waste oil and filters without regards to the damages that result to the environment.
The potential hazard of most concern that is presented by this operation is the pending occurrence of a serious traffic accident that may result in the loss of life and/or limbs.
It is my hope that your newspaper can bring to the attention of Bosai’s environmental and safety officers, who for all intent and purposes traverse this scene daily, the responsibility of the company to ensure that its contractors respect the safety of road users in Linden and particularly the residence of Noitgedacht.
The solution to this hazard is for Bosai to facilitate its contractors within the fenced area of its operations. The people of Linden are already enduring the pollution resulting from this operation without the compensations they have been known to enjoy in the pass. It is sad to say that members of our Police Traffic Department also traverse this scene daily and fail to foresee the potential hazard presented.
