The Fiji Sugar Corporation (FSC) is rolling out new fire prevention and disaster resilience systems across all its mills in response to the Rarawai Mill incident in September, reports FBC News.
Minister for Sugar Industry Charan Jeath Singh said a comprehensive review of the corporation’s safety and risk management systems has been completed. The review focused on modernizing safety infrastructure, improving risk management, and enhancing contingency planning at the Labasa, Lautoka, and Rarawai mills.
Singh noted that routine risk assessments, safety work in mill boilers, and the introduction of a standardized incident register are now part of FSC’s corporate safety framework.
“These measures are being implemented at both the corporate and mill levels to ensure all facilities operate under a unified system for safety, risk management, and disaster preparedness, in line with local industrial standards,” Singh said.
He added that the safety and modernization program is ongoing and aims to ensure all FSC mills meet national safety standards.
