Health and Safety

Oct 17, 2014



What we believe
 
Fatality prevention and the safety of our people is our number one priority. Our ambition is to become a leader in the field of safety and to create a workplace that is free from fatalities, injuries and occupational diseases.
 
We believe that everyone at Glencore must take a personal responsibility for preventing injuries and occupational diseases. We expect our people to come to work medically, emotionally and physically fit, to follow health and safety instructions and to take responsibility for their own and their colleagues’ safety. We support our management’s efforts to create a safe work environment through the application of effective controls.

 
Commitment to continuous improvement
 
Continuous improvement in all areas of health and safety management means that we:
• Expect our leaders and line managers to be accountable for health and safety performance;
• Use a risk based approach to determine our priorities, capability requirements and critical controls; 
• Collect and share best practice and knowledge across the Group;
• Aim to instil a positive safety culture in which everyone fully integrates our safety values into their working lives;
• Expect all our people, including contractors and suppliers, to adopt a ‘SafeWork or StopWork’ approach;
• Encourage our stakeholders to report conditions that endanger their own or others’ health and safety; and 
• Consider legal compliance to be the minimum standard;


In addition, we…
 
• Expect the same standards and procedures from contractors as we do from our employees. They are included in our safety performance data and we make no distinctions with regard to their safety. Our contractors are required to undergo the same training as our employees, especially with regard to safety
• Seek to influence safety management within our joint ventures through representation at Board level, and through sitting on the relevant Committees at individual joint ventures
