Health & Safety

Greatland promotes an environment where safety is the number one priority. Telfer and Havieron operate under a health, safety and environment management system that is aligned to ISO Standards 14001 and 45001.

Executive responsibility for safety sits with the Managing Director. All meetings, from the Board to worksite meetings, start with safety to ensure that it is at the forefront of everyone’s minds. To ensure compliance with Workplace Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy and the related standards, dedicated operational safety professionals are tasked with promoting a strong safety culture to deliver zero harm outcomes both in and around Greatland’s operations.

Whilst Greatland acknowledges that it is important to consider lagging indicators of safety measure (i.e. total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR)), Greatland is focussed on how it develops the workforce’s ownership for their own safety and that of their coworkers.

Greatland’s focus is centred on delivering safety leadership at all levels of the business to strengthen the culture of awareness and zero harm. Greatland maintains a simple yet effective approach to the health and safety of its employees, their families, and the general community: the identification and control of hazards and ongoing management of the risk associated with them.

Since Greatland commenced ownership of Telfer, the continued focus on visible field leadership (providing leaders with the right tools and information to lead by example and timely feedback and support) has seen a further improvement in the operation’s recordable injuries.
