Health & Safety
Safety is a value, not a priority. Non-negotiable, every shift, every day.
Our approach to safety
Everyone goes
home safe.
Mining is inherently hazardous. Heavy equipment, blasting, confined spaces, extreme heat — the risks are real and present every day. We don't pretend otherwise. Instead, we build systems, train people, and create a culture where safety is everyone's responsibility.
Every incident is one too many. That's why we invest relentlessly in systems, training, and culture. Our approach to safety is not a slogan — it's an operating standard that guides every decision, every shift, across every operation.
Safety work is never finished. We acknowledge this openly and commit to continuous improvement — learning from every incident, every near-miss, and every suggestion from our people.

Our 9 Safety Pillars
Nine non-negotiable safety pillars that govern every operation, every shift, across every site. These are the foundation of our safety culture.
Our Approach
How we work safely
Six safety practices that work together to create a culture where safety isn't just a rule — it's how we think.
Stop-Work Authority
Every employee — from first-day apprentice to project director — has the right and responsibility to stop any operation they believe is unsafe. No consequences for concerns raised in good faith.
Daily Safety Briefings
Every shift begins with a safety briefing. Hazard identification, task-specific risks, and lessons from recent near-misses. Safety stays front of mind, every single day.
Transparent Incident & Near-Miss Reporting
We track and investigate near-misses with the same rigour as actual incidents. Understanding what almost happened is how we prevent what could happen next.
Monthly Safety Stand-Downs
Full operational pause once a month dedicated entirely to safety. Reviews, training, open discussion. Production can wait — safety cannot.
Visible Leadership
Our managers and project directors are on site, in the pit, walking the talk. Safety leadership isn't delegated — it's demonstrated from the top.
Health & Wellbeing
Safety extends beyond the workplace. Health screenings, fatigue management, mental health support, and wellness programmes for our entire team.
Continuous Development
Training & Capability
Training isn't a one-time event — it's continuous, rigorous, and practical. Every programme is designed to build competence that saves lives.
New Starter Induction
Comprehensive safety induction before any new employee sets foot on an active mine site. Covers hazard recognition, emergency procedures, PPE, and site-specific risks.
Equipment Operator Safety
Simulator-based training and supervised practical assessments for all heavy equipment operators. Regular re-certification ensures skills stay sharp.
Supervisor Safety Leadership
Leadership development focused on creating a safety culture. How to conduct effective briefings, handle stop-work situations, and lead by example.
Emergency Response
Full-scale emergency drills including fire, evacuation, medical, and environmental response scenarios. Every site, twice per year, no exceptions.
Independently Validated
Certifications & Standards
International certifications that validate our safety systems — and the commitment behind them. All BSI validated.
