We place great importance on ensuring that we conduct our business activities without causing harm to the people associated with our operations. We believe that no injury or illness can be justified.

Providing a safe and healthy workplace is critical in our achieving sustainability. Eliminating fatalities and permanently-disabling injuries and illnesses is a core business objective.

WMC's overall approach to managing health and safety is guided by the aims and beliefs described in our Safety and Health Policy.

WMC strives to have a consistent approach to management of safety and health across the company, as all sites are required to manage safety and health matters in accordance with the requirements of the company's EHS Management System Standards. These standards are supplemented by WMC's Major Hazard Standards, which contain mandatory operating requirements as well as best practice guidance in relation to fatality-potential hazards.
