Health and Safety

We prioritise the health and safety of our employees, host communities, contractors and others impacted by our operations. We identify, manage, mitigate or eliminate health and safety risks in our business.

We recognise and uphold our employees and contractors’ right to a safe workplace. We identify, evaluate and control occupational health and safety hazards and work to provide a work environment that is free from fatalities and injuries. We uphold a zero-harm and zero –fatalities policies across all our operations

We work to improve not just our employees’ health and wellbeing, but that of our host communities. We assess, monitor and control health risks to prevent occupational diseases among our workforce, and create community programmes to tackle public health issues.

Our approach

Our health and safety thrust is zero fatalities, serious injuries and occupational illnesses. We believe our people have a right to go home safe and healthy to their families and their communities at the end of every day.

Managing risks to the health of our employees and host communities is essential for their long-term well-being. We use a variety of onsite programmes to manage occupational diseases and exposure to health hazards; we also host a health programmes in our operational areas to mitigate health problems and promote healthy lifestyles.

The most common on-site health hazards ; are working with heavy loads, noise, diesel exhaust fumes, acid mist, and coal dust containing heavy metals. We monitor our people’s exposure to toxic hazards and seek to control this exposure wherever possible.

Our Group Health and Safety Policy requires our operational assets to have formal plans, processes and records to allow routine monitoring of occupational health.

We operate real time interventions on any incidents of injuries or fatalities. We have fully integrated systems to rehabilitate injured staff back to work.
