Systems and Processes

Our Health, Safety, Environment & Community Policy states that we will:

provide a safe and healthy working environment for employees, contractors and visitors, and promote safe behaviours - Think Safe, Act Safe, Be Safe;

establish and maintain health and safety management standards and systems in compliance with relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements;

identify and assess hazards to safety and health and control them as part of a total risk management process;

require every employee and contractor working for us to comply with relevant legislation and the health and safety management standards and systems, and we will provide them with the necessary training to enable them to have the knowledge and skills to undertake that work in a safe and healthy manner;

strive to continually improve;

report on the progress made on our health, safety, environment and community performance; and

encourage everyone to carry our commitment to health, safety and environment to their homes and to the community.

To track and monitor our performance, we introduced a global Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) management system, SHAERS, in FY2010/11. All incidents are recorded in SHAERS by personnel trained to do so at each site. HSE reports are generated from this database and provided to the Executive Team on a monthly basis and the Board of Directors every three months. Safety is always the first agenda item on regular Executive Team meetings.

Ensuring data accuracy is a line management responsibility and external authorities audit data accuracy and injury classification.

A Letter of Assurance is presented to the Company's Board of Directors on an annual basis. The Letter of Assurance process requires business managers to self-assess their business unit's compliance with Company HSE Management Systems including outcomes from HSE audits conducted throughout the year. The Letter of Assurance identifies gaps and actions to address any deficiencies identified.
