Creating and maintaining a safe and healthy workplace is our number one priority. We strive for continual improvement in our health and safety performance to assist us in achieving our vision 'to operate our businesses in a safe and responsible manner with no occupational illness or injuries to anyone, ever'. This includes all those who are present at our sites – employees, contractors and visitors alike.

Our occupational health and safety policy highlights our commitments to safety, such as:

• To rigorously identify and control hazards.
• To strive for continual improvement in our health and safety performance by setting and reviewing achievable targets for the business and individuals.
• Recognition that everyone's involvement in health and safety is essential.
• To undertake training and actively motivate all our people to work in a safe and responsible manner.
• To comply with relevant legislation and strive to exceed community expectations.

We rigorously enforce a comprehensive safety management system and regularly review company practices to ensure they reflect current best practice standards. Structured safety training programs help to build a strong safety culture and assist us in minimising Lost Time Injuries (those preventing an employee from working on their next scheduled day of work). Fatigue and fitness have been identified as key occupational issues, and workplace programs are in place to reduce these potential risks, contributing to a healthy working environment for all employees and contractors.

In the Interactive 2009 Sustainability Report ( PDF version 7.25 MB)  we openly discuss and evaluate our health and safety performance over the past year.
