Health & Safety

Safety is one of our core values and a strategic priority. Our most important measure of success is that every person who works with us remains safe and healthy at the end of each day.  

To protect our workforce, we must effectively identify, understand and control the risks associated with the hazards in the workplace. All safety incidents are investigated, lessons are learned and corrective actions are adopted to prevent fatalities and serious injuries.

Inherent in our approach is our philosophy of ‘Don’t Walk Past’ – this means the standard you walk past is the standard you accept. We expect that everyone who works with us lives by this philosophy.  We actively encourage our people to speak up and act if they see something that is potentially unsafe.

Sandfire is governed by our Health and Safety Policy and our Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) that aligns to ISO 45001: 2018. The HSMS system is comprised of standards, guidelines and procedures and details the accountabilities, mandatory controls and minimum requirements for managing work-related safety and health risks. These requirements also apply to our contractors undertaking work on behalf of Sandfire.
