Keeping Our Workers Safe and Healthy

We are clear on one thing - our people are central to the success of our business.
Effective management of the health of our people is essential not only to reduce the potential impact of work on the individual but also to improve quality of life through both work-based and health programs.

Our mines are close to Newcastle and so you can also cut out the long travel times and get more out of your leisure time and enjoy life with your families and friends.

Safety

Across the organisation we manage safety risks through our safety systems. Our safety strategy is based on a clear vision, understanding what we need to do to get it right, and focusing our effort in four key areas – a clear philosophy, awareness, action and prevention.

Fit for Work/Fit for Life

We are developing a range of programs for managing issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, fatigue management, occupational rehabilitation, health promotion, and stress management

Consultation

We know that a single mind does not always get the right answer – so we make a habit of talking to our people to find out how they view the world and what is happening to them.

‘For me, spending time with the kids is a big factor.  Working only 15 minutes from home makes a difference.  My roster allows me to be home when they get home from school.’
Miner, Tasman underground mine.
