Safety, Health & Environment Policy
Zimbabwe
Platinum Mines (Private) Limited recovers platinum group
metals for world markets through world-class mining and
processing operations. We recognise that the management of
safety, health and the environment is an integral component of
our mining and processing operations.
Consistent
with this, the company aims to: -
Ø
Eliminate
all accidents and incidents which result in personal injury
and damage to property, equipment and the environment.
Ø
Comply
with all applicable laws, regulations and standards that
reflect the company’s commitment to safety, health and the
environment.
Ø
Establish
programs to conserve resources, minimise waste emissions and
improve processes, thereby protecting the environment.
To
achieve these objectives the company and employees will:-
Ø
Develop
a culture of continual improvement in all activities linked to
safety, health and environment.
Ø
Through
risk assessment, identify, monitor and control the safety,
health and environmental risks arising from the Zimbabwe
Platinum operations.
Ø
Ensure
that all our employees and interested parties/stake holders
are informed and trained about this policy and their
responsibilities in relation to Zimbabwe Platinum operations.
Ø
Ensure
that all employees are responsible and accountable for their
safety and that of Company property and the environment.
Ø
Ensure
that all employees wear protective clothing provided by the
company at all times when working in designated areas.

‘the right to seek a second opinion from his/her supervisor
on observing unsafe acts/conditions or when not satisfied

We
believe that our safety, health and environmental efforts will
only succeed if every employee is committed to this policy and
if each task is performed in accordance with the legislation,
codes of practice and company standards.
