Perth Operations last experienced a Lost Work Case (LWC) incident in October 1998, this being a neck sprain whilst completing the HUET Training program. Since then we have achieved over 2.5 million man hours without a LWC incident. We believe our 24 / 7 SHE initiative has been a major factor in this by raising awareness of risks throughout our normal daily activities.

So much so that we were awarded the IFAP Gold Safeway Achievers Award in recognition of our employee safety focus outside normal working hours. The award assessment comprises of a scored application and physical audit by the IFAP (Industrial Foundation for Accident Prevention) Safety Team.

The Australian Minister of Resources presented the award to J P Kenny on 15th November 2006.
