Safety Performance
Following a comprehensive review of our safety performance in 2008, a series of initiatives were introduced that are now producing positive results. A key achievement is the reduction in site Lost Time Injury Frequency Rates. There has also been a noticeable cultural shift in the attitude of our employees, with greater focus on continuous improvement of our safety performance and positive pro-active workplace behaviours. Although a number of serious near miss events were recorded for the year, these did not result in long term significant injuries occurring. We will use what we have learned from these events and will continue to work hard to eliminate all serious potential incidents from the workplace.Working with our external safety consultants, we have provided training and up-skilling to employee groups in the areas of incident investigation, hazard identification, risk management and safety leadership. The Management Safety Steering Committee, consisting of the senior leadership group including a non- executive director, has met during the year to continue to develop and improve the strategic safety plan.
The ‘VCR’ safety mantra has continued to be a simple means of articulating a powerful safety message to all of our employees and contractors.
Vision: Safety is a value not just a priority
Commitment: Safety improvement through leadership Results: Safely home every day
