Safety and Occupational Health

The Company highly prioritizes the public safety and occupational health. It adheres to all standards and requirements and monitors them to ensure compliance therewith and not breaching any of them. As such, the Company safeguards the safety of employees and the surrounding environment.  

Safeguarding the safety and health of our employees, contractors, local communities, and other stakeholders is our core responsibility—one that is shared across the mining industry. Ensuring a safe and healthy workforce not only fosters an engaged, motivated, and productive environment but also minimizes operational disruptions and reduces potential legal liabilities. This commitment to health and safety is integral to our operations and is pivotal in maintaining high standards of excellence and sustainability in our practices.
