Occupational Health & Safety
A safe and healthy working environment is included in the International Labour Organization (‘ILO’) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. We are conscious of the risks to health and safety which are related to the minerals extraction industry. We believe that with a rigorous approach to occupational health and safety management, the appropriate controls and monitoring systems in place and a strong safety culture, incidents are avoidable.
SAFETY CULTURE AND TRAINING
We have high expectations of all our employees and contractors in terms of safety practice and ensure that they are trained accordingly. All employees and contractors are required to adhere strictly to all Company health and safety rules and standards, and to report any safety issues immediately to their line manager or safety representative.
In line with our aim to achieve continuous improvements in our approach to health and safety, walkthroughs have now been introduced across the business, allowing safety teams to evaluate safety practices and identify areas for improvement. In 2022, we employed the Bradley curve (a tool used to illustrate the link between accidents and corporate culture) to assess the development of the respective safety cultures of our operations, enabling our teams to recognise their strengths and weaknesses and to further identify where improvements can be made.
Health and wellbeing
We believe that a healthy workforce is key to achieving high levels of productivity, and we run various programmes to monitor the health of our employees and to promote a healthy lifestyle.
UN SDG
We have a steadfast commitment to safety, underpinned by robust policies and systems, and aim to achieve a zero-harm workplace. The Company has a range of initiatives and resources to promote and improve wellbeing amongst our workforce and in the local communities.
