Background
The safety of our employees, contractors and the communities in which we operate is an integral part of our business. Our goal is Zero Harm. To this end, we are seeking to create a mindset and an environment where people believe it is possible to work injury free – regardless of where they are in the world, what role they undertake or in which business they work.
Across the organisation we manage safety risks through our risk-based HSEC Management Standards and other dedicated systems. Our line managers are responsible for the implementation of these systems. The key priority safety issues we seek to manage include:
- mobile equipment and related interactions, including light vehicles and surface and underground mobile equipment
- underground ground control, encompassing ground stability and ground support
- hazardous materials storage, handling, production, transport, recycling and disposal
- handling and processing of molten materials
- plant and equipment safeguarding and isolation
- lifting and slinging
- working at heights
- contractor management.
