Health and Safety

Oct 15, 2014
Overview
The health and safety of our employees and contractors is fundamental to our business. We aim to provide a safe and healthy work environment as we continuously improve all aspects of health and safety performance and strive for the ultimate goal of zero injuries. We believe that our employees have the right to return home safely every day, and that they have the right to ongoing training programs designed to improve their skills and knowledge. We consider health and safety a core value that shapes our overall performance.
 
12 month Performance
In 2013, both the Young-Davidson and El Chanate operations achieved over 1 million hours Lost Time Injury (LTI) Free. As of June 30, 2014, both sites had achieved over one year and two million hours lost time injury free.
 
In 2013, we continued to demonstrate our commitment of operating with zero injuries. We reinforced our company value Home Safe, Every Day (HSED). To support this value, we developed and implemented the Home Safe, Every Day Safety Leadership Program. This one and two day program was delivered to over 900 employees and contractors. 
 
In 2013, we provided a combined 32,000 hours of safety training to employees and contractors at our operations. 
 
In 2013, we set our Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate goal at 0.4. We are pleased to state that we achieved this target, ending 2013 with an overall LTIFR of 0.23.
 
In 2014, the Company is targeting an overall LTIFR of 0.36 or better.
