Health and Safety

We are committed to safeguarding the health and safety of our employees, contractors and visitors. We work to provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions and follow operating procedures and risk assessments that safeguard the people working at, or visiting, our operations. We consider compliance with applicable health and safety laws and regulations as a minimum standard. 

We are also committed to conducting our activities in a manner that protects the health and safety of the communities in which we work and following operating procedures that safeguard our neighbours.
