Our Health & Safety

The greatest challenge of any mining company is to ensure the safety and health of its employees and the wider community. At Newmont, the occurrence of any injury is unacceptable. The company invests significant resources in managing safety risks as it strives to achieve an injury-free workplace. It emphasizes to employees and specifically stresses that any task that cannot be done safely, will not be done.

Accordingly, all of Newmont's safety initiatives are aimed at identifying and managing hazards, increasing awareness among employees of potential hazards and making safe the environment in which they work.

The Safety Management Program is based upon "The Three Pillars of Effectiveness:"

  • Passion - for safety
  • Science - in developing safe systems, practices and behaviors
  • Commitment - leadership and commitment in safety

The program is appropriately balanced to address each of "The Pillars."Learn more

Measurement and reporting indicators are critical drivers in any HSLP management system. The work culture of the company, defined as safe production, is directly influenced by what is measured and reported. As a measure of HSLP performance, Newmont monitors against defined lead and lag indicators to assess overall HSLP effectiveness, performance and safe production. Learn more
