GROUP SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Underground Mining + Oil & Gas + Power & Water
Currently viewing: HEALTH AND SAFETY PERFORMANCE / Safety performance
OUR SAFETY PERFORMANCE FOR FY2019 IS ENCOURAGING AND CONFIRMS THE ROBUSTNESS OF OUR HSE FRAMEWORK.
Most pleasingly, the Group recorded zero fatalities and maintained a world-class safety performance. An increasing number of our projects and businesses are performing at a world-class level. That this was achieved with a project portfolio of more than 100 projects around the world is a remarkable outcome.
Our LTIFR improved 17% to 0.71 however the TRCR deteriorated 2% to 4.02.
During the year, we continued to record positive trends in most lead indicators, including fewer high potential incidents and violations of our critical safety standards.
In Australia, we took a 30% stake in Insig Technology, a specialist in the application of automation technology. This partnership is expected to provide significant competitive advantage in our contract mining operations, including in reducing safety risk.
GRAYSTON TEMPORARY WORKS COLLAPSE
In our previous reports to stakeholders we reported on circumstances around the tragic incident that occurred in October 2015 at our Grayston temporary works project in Sandton, Johannesburg.
The formal and public inquiry, established by the Department of Labour to investigate the incident, concluded its work in September 2018 and we are awaiting its report.
We continuously benchmark our safety performance against that of clients and industry peers. Oil & Gas outperformed its peers and clients in its sector and Underground Mining and Power & Water were among the top performers in their respective markets.
