Safety

We are committed to providing a safe environment for all our staff by implementing safe work systems and appropriate training and guidance. We continue to ensure that we have the right processes in place to identify, analyse and evaluate hazards, and develop controls to mitigate them.

Safety initiatives adopted by Sierra Rutile include:

• establishment of Sierra Rutile’s Life Saving Commitments campaign across all operations and support services;
• introduction of the Incident Causal Analysis Methodology to ensure consistency in investigations and outcomes;
• introduction of pre-start safety checks, driver training and competency assessments and integrated Traffic Management Plans for all operational areas;
• investment in the Health and Safety Management System to manage risk management, with minimum compliance levels established and enforced;
• mandatory risk assessments for all non-routine tasks;
• the adoption of lifting, guarding, fatigue management and hazard reporting procedures in line with Iluka’s high standards;
• fire response training for the Emergency Response team;
• fully integrated tailings management, involving regular operations and geotechnical monitoring; and
• introduction of mandatory daily alcohol testing across all sites and shifts.
