Health and safety management systems will help to sustain progress and continually improve health and safety performance.
H&S Management System
As a complement to our work on safety culture, all sites are working to implement internationally recognized health and safety management systems, such as the Towards Sustainable Mining Safety and Health Protocol and ISO 45001. The management systems will provide a framework to increase safety, reduce workplace risks and enhance health and well-being at work, enabling the organization to proactively improve its H&S performance. They will build on existing ISO 9001 quality management systems at several sites.
In 2019, each site developed a multi-year action plan with gap analyses, training, risk assessments, implementation of policies and objectives, and plans for external verification.
