Our approach
Our approach is aligned with the UN SDG Goal of ensuring good health and wellbeing for our people and executed within our internal health and safety performance standards outlined in our sustainability policy.
We aim to embed and integrate the Zero Harm culture into all our activities through an integrated, proactive and collaborative approach.
Lead by example
Highly engaged, visible and accountable leadership, leading by example are essential in ensuring that all our people are safe. There is ongoing engagement with mine management and their respective departments on health and safety risk management, and our continually updated operational procedures.
Enhance capacity
Our goal is to enhance the capacity of our employees to manage health and safety risks. We strive for continuous improvement through learning lessons from incidents and events, to ensure that these are preventable in future. Our training programmes focus on creating a mind-set shift in which every employee embraces the Zero Harm Culture of working together to create an incident and injury-free environment.
Manage risk
Our health and safety risk management processes are central to our operational and project management. Through these processes we identify, assess, and analyse and address or mitigate risks associated with our business and operational activities. Our safety approach is reviewed regularly to ensure that our approach remains relevant and is aligned to global best practice.
Improving performance
We continually strive to improve our performance against global best practice. This is done through our awareness campaigns, dialogue sessions, accountability training, and ongoing assessment and review.
We are resolute in our pursuit of Zero Harm. We continue to evolve our safety and health culture through our awareness and safety campaigns as the business grows, striving to entrench a Zero Harm Culture and Zero Tolerance for unsafe behaviour and practices.
