Sustainability Report
In September 2015, the ISO 14001:2004 standard was upgraded to ISO 14001:2015, thus a review process is
underway to reflect amendments of the new standard into the integrated documents.
Occupational health and safety (“OHS”)
To achieve and maintain incident free workplaces, it is required to identify and mitigate potential risks. Hence,
core management objectives include identifying and evaluating hazards, and introducing appropriate mitigation
measures to control risks to appropriate levels. The main occupational health challenges that pose threats to our
employee’s well-being are fatigue, muscular-skeletal injuries, noise induced hearing loss, dust related respiratory
illnesses and infectious diseases. In accordance with our Occupational Health and Disease Policy, we identify job
positions in which our people are exposed to occupational health hazards, and actions are in place to prevent and
mitigate discovered hazards. Other preventative measures include building awareness and knowledge of disease
and other health hazards through internal training and awareness campaigns.
At our workplaces, medical and emergency response teams are maintained on a 24-hour basis to ensure that
any accidents and emergencies are responded to immediately. The site-based emergency response team also
responds to fire and other emergency calls within the local community. Our employees form a part of the local
communities in which we operate, hence any public health issues confronting the community affect our workforce
as well. We also work in partnerships with local communities, public health authorities and other stakeholders to
improve education on, protection from and prevention of public health risks and widespread diseases.
In 2015, the Company continued with its efforts to prevent workplace related illnesses, injuries and environmental
incidents by continuing to monitor and review HSE performance and applying new standards and procedures into
the integrated documents, where required.

OHS performance
In 2015, we aimed to reduce the OHS incident rate by 20% from the previous year and set the targets as below:
Class 1 incidents (Fatality or permanent disability) 0
LTIFR 1.0
Total recordable injury frequency rate (“TRIFR”) 4.3
The below table and corresponding graphs show our performance on the set OHS incident targets.
