Safety

Our approach

Safety is the most important consideration for any of our activities. Xstrata’s Sustainable Development Policy sets out our aims to operate a safe workplace that is injury- and fatality-free and believe that all work-related illnesses and injuries are preventable. Our approach also goes further than “zero harm” and aims to proactively enhance the wellbeing of employees, contractors and communities.

Our performance this year

Total recordable injury frequency rate (per million hours worked)

The continuation of our core safety improvement programmes combined with targeted initiatives to address specific business or site safety challenges resulted in all commodity businesses reducing the frequency of total recordable injuries by 26% overall. Total recordable injuries include lost-time injuries, medical treatment injuries and restricted work injuries, providing a more comprehensive measure of safety performance than lost-time injuries alone.
