Who is studied
The sample population was drawn from the Zambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ZACCI), an umbrella organization representing businesses across all sectors. ZACCI advocates for workplace legislation and a conducive business environment. Companies known to produce silica dust were identified under categories including mining, construction, cement manufacturing, brick and tile manufacturing, and glass and ceramic manufacturing. The sampling frame included 1 mining company, 73 construction companies, 1 cement company, 9 brick/tile companies, and 10 glass/ceramic companies. Each company was asked to nominate at least one senior official to complete the questionnaire, with a maximum of two responses per company. This ensured representation across industries while maintaining focus on individuals with policy-making authority.
