Committed to safety
The safety of all our employees is our highest priority. With a safety culture that puts people first, we’ve achieved a steady decrease in the frequency of injury across our mining operations.
Our lost time injury (LTIF) frequency rate is steadily improving, our LTIF rate reduced from 3.8 in 2008 to 0.97 in 2019.
We are increasing our efforts to implement a ‘safety-first’ culture by proactively implementing preventative measures and leveraging best practice approaches across our mining operations.
We are specifically focussing on Potential Serious Injury and Fatality events (PSIF) detailed analysis and root cause reviews, risk assessment and courageous leadership. Permeating all levels of the mining business, courageous leadership is about creating an environment in which people are valued above all other priorities, in which there is a conviction that zero injuries can be achieved, and employees bring a positive attitude to work. It’s about managing our own behaviours to eliminate risks, accepting that safety is everyone’s responsibility and having the courage to make positive change.
