Company Health and Safety Policy Statement
This Health and Safety Policy sets out our organization's commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all employees, contractors, visitors and stakeholders. The purpose of this occupational safety statement is to establish a clear framework for the management of workplace health and safety risks, to promote a proactive safety culture, and to allocate responsibility for the implementation and continuous improvement of safety controls. We recognize that a robust safety management policy protects people, preserves assets and supports long-term operational resilience.
Our workplace safety policy applies to all operations and locations where the organization conducts activities. It emphasizes hazard identification, risk assessment, and the consistent application of controls to reduce likelihood and consequence. Key principles include prevention of incidents, early detection of hazards, and timely action to correct unsafe conditions. Senior leadership endorses this policy and is committed to providing the resources needed for effective safety performance and compliance with applicable obligations.
To meet our objectives the safety program integrates planning, training, monitoring and review. The occupational health and safety approach requires that all roles are defined with clear expectations: managers must lead by example; supervisors ensure safe systems of work are followed; and every team member has a duty to work safely and report risks. The policy sets out requirements for incident reporting, risk registers, routine inspections and corrective action processes to maintain continual improvement in safety outcomes.
Hazard control measures are selected following a hierarchy that prioritizes elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls and finally personal protective equipment (PPE). The safety management system includes procedures for job hazard analysis, permit-to-work systems, safe handling and storage of materials, and emergency preparedness. Regular safety briefings and toolbox talks are used to reinforce safe behaviours and awareness of changing conditions in the workplace.
Training is essential to effective implementation of the health and safety program. Training activities include induction for new starters, role-specific competency verification, refresher training and specialist instruction for high-risk tasks. We emphasize competence-based training to ensure staff not only know safety procedures but can demonstrate safe execution. Performance evaluations consider safety behaviours and are linked to individual development plans.
Incident and near-miss reporting are fundamental to learning and prevention. All incidents are investigated with the objective of identifying root causes and implementing corrective and preventive actions. Lessons learned are communicated across the organization to avoid recurrence. The policy also covers rehabilitation and return-to-work support for people affected by workplace injury or illness, focusing on safe, sustainable reintegration.
Roles, Responsibilities and Continuous Improvement
Responsibilities under this safety and health policy are shared across the organization. Leadership provides governance, middle management implements systems and frontline staff engage in safe work practices. Safety representatives or designated coordinators facilitate communication between workers and management and support safety inspections. The policy requires periodic review of performance metrics, audits and management reviews to ensure effectiveness and drive enhancements.
To support implementation we maintain documented procedures and accessible records of risk assessments, training, incident investigations and maintenance activities. A combination of proactive and reactive monitoring—such as regular workplace inspections, performance indicators and trend analysis—helps identify opportunities for improvement. The policy encourages staff to participate in safety committees and contribute suggestions for safer ways of working.

Commitment and Accountability
We commit to continual improvement of our health and safety practices and to fostering an empowering safety culture. The policy is communicated to all team members and made available to stakeholders to promote transparency. Non-compliance with safety obligations is addressed promptly through corrective measures and, where necessary, disciplinary processes. Everyone is expected to take personal responsibility for safety while supporting others to do the same.This policy is reviewed at defined intervals and updated as needed to reflect changes in operational activities, technology, or emerging risk information. Management will monitor performance against safety objectives and targets and will report progress through internal channels. The organization values open communication about risks and encourages reporting of hazards without fear of reprisal.
Key elements of the safety framework include:
- Clear leadership and visible commitment to safety;
- Risk-based planning and systematic hazard control;
- Competence and training for all roles;
- Incident investigation and learning mechanisms;
- Employee engagement and mechanisms for reporting concerns.
Through this health and safety policy, the organization seeks to integrate safety into everyday decisions and maintain a resilient safety performance. By aligning safety objectives with operational goals, we reinforce the position that safety and productivity are complementary. This combined approach ensures the organization remains adaptive and capable of protecting people, the environment and business continuity.
All employees are asked to read and understand this policy and to apply its principles in their daily work. The organization expects ongoing collaboration, accountability and vigilance to uphold the standards set out in this safety and risk management policy. Collective effort and sustained leadership commitment are central to achieving our safety aspirations.
