Rhona Peters

I am a results-driven EHS professional with over a decade of experience in occupational health and safety, quality systems, and training facilitation across FMCG, logistics, and manufacturing sectors.

I hold a NEBOSH International Diploma and SAMTRAC certification, and I’ve led successful implementations of ISO management systems, risk assessments, and incident investigations. My passion lies in fostering a culture of safety, empowering teams through training, and ensuring compliance with global and local standards.

Currently at Cargill (Pty) Ltd, I support site-wide EHS initiatives, lead construction safety efforts, and contribute to regional learning and development programs. I’m also actively involved in CSR and women’s leadership initiatives.
