Paper Toils (U) Ltd is a Ugandan manufacturer of tissue and paper products, best known for its Comfort toilet paper brand. The company makes comfort tissue paper, jumbo rolls, cores and serviettes from waste paper, and also produces paper boards and paper egg trays.

Its registered premises are in Mukono, at Mbalala, Wankoba, where it runs manufacturing operations with a large workforce. Products are supplied to wholesalers, retailers, organisations, schools and cleaning companies through several distribution channels.

The company’s stated mission is to reduce toilet paper importation by manufacturing good and affordable toilet paper for the regional market by 2030, which places it among local manufacturers working on import substitution.

The Health & Safety Officer joins a working paper manufacturing operation in Mukono that recycles waste paper into tissue, serviettes, paper boards and egg trays. The advert is a short flyer: it names the position, the qualification required and how to apply, but it does not list the duties, reporting line or years of experience. Treat the role as the company’s safety post for its Mukono premises and confirm the full scope with the HR team.

What the advert does make clear is the background Paper Toils wants: a diploma in Sciences, Engineering, Safety, Health, the Environmental field or a related course. That opens the door to diploma holders in occupational health and safety, environmental health, environmental science, engineering and laboratory sciences. Candidates who have worked in or trained around factory floors, machinery and production lines will find it easier to show they fit. Applications are by CV to the recruitment email, and the company asks people to apply as soon as possible.
