Background
People are central to the success of our business and, accordingly, understanding the potential for health risks and establishing suitable mitigation measures are integral to our journey towards Zero Harm.
Some of the potential health risks present in the organisation include:
- inherent occupational health risks associated with the nature of our operations, such as noise, dust, hazardous materials and gases, and vibration
- communicable diseases present in some of the countries in which we operate, including HIV/AIDS and mosquito-borne diseases
- travel-related risks
- ergonomic exposures relating to work requirements
- general suitability for job criteria and fitness for work.
The following sections discuss our Health performance and Health management initiatives over the reporting period.
