Elimination of Fatalities and Injuries VISION OF ZERO HARM: Working together for every mine worker to return from work unharmed every day. Occupational Safety MILESTONE OBJECTIVE ACTIVITY / SUB ACTIVITIES RESPONSIBILITIES DUE DATES LEAD SUPPORTING Elimination of Fatalities and Injuries - Every fatality is one to many, we will eliminate fatalities by December 2020. - Every mining company must have a target of ZERO FATALITIES. - UP to December 2016, 20% reduction in Serious Injuries per year. (From January 2015) - From January 2017, 20% reduction in LTI per year. *Serious injury is an Injury which either incapacitates employee to perform his normal/similar duty for a period totalling 14 days or more or which cause the injured employee to suffer the loss of a joint, part of a joint, or sustain permanent disability. **LTI is any injury which incapacitates the injured employee normal or similar occupation the next calendar day.

For each pillar there is: Objective Minimum Standards MHSC’s Culture Transformation For each pillar there is: Objective Minimum Standards Roles and Responsibilities Action Plan: Gap analysis between minimum standards and your current standards. Closing the identified gaps. Implement. Check and continually improve.
LEADERSHIP PILLAR All Leaders must lead by example in walking the ZERO HARM talk Leaders must play a critical role in changing culture. Minimum standards A leadership programme for all operational levels of leadership which includes, as a minimum: An annual performance assessment of zero harm leadership. A leadership development programme. A visible leadership programme with measureable targets. A programme to effectively engage and empower workers.
RISK MANAGEMENT PILLAR We must eliminate risks at their source and investigate the root causes of incidents – Shy away from the culture of blame Minimum standards The accident investigation system must, as a minimum, include: A distinction between different types of human error (slips or lapses). An explicit consideration of organisational system issues. A regular evaluation, carried out by a multi-functional internal stakeholder team.
BONUSES AND PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES PILLAR ZERO HARM must be prioritised ahead of production Minimum standards We should strive to have a ZERO HARM based bonus system that: Enhances safe and healthy production. Includes a combination of leading / lagging / OHS indicators in the determination of the zero harm. Includes a regular evaluation of whether those affected by the bonus system understand it and consider it fair.
DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT PILLAR We must remove obstacles to the kind of workplace relationships that are conducive to achieve ZERO HARM (racism, genderism and any forms of unfair discrimination). Minimum standards Diversity management competence must be a requirement for all levels of management (to be part of the leadership programme). A focal point to champion diversity management in the organization. Regular diversity audits (to be part of the monitoring of the culture transformation in the organisation.) We must adopt a culturally-sensitive way to deal with serious injuries and fatalities; e.g. allowing an opportunity for mourning say through holding a memorial service at the affected operation. A culturally-sensitive OHS awareness process to raise awareness about OHS issues.
LEADING PRACTICE PILLAR We must take a common approach to identifying and facilitating the adoption of leading OHS practices and research outcomes. Minimum standards Support sector level initiatives on the implementation of research outcomes and adoption of leading practices (MOSH / MHSC). Investigate leading practices/new research objectively with appropriate consideration of benefits and risks to be as low as reasonably practicable. Leadership support at all levels have a clear understanding of what they have to do to enable and lead sustainable adoption and this is appropriately included in their performance contracts. There is early and effective involvement of those affected by the adoption including their knowledge, beliefs and values. Adequate training, technical support and explicit financial resources for adoption. Monitoring of progress with the adoption and sustained monitoring of its impact through self-assessment and independent verification.
DATA MANAGEMENT PILLAR We must establish a data system that allows effective and timely collection, capture, analysis, communication, dissemination – Assist the SAMI to make informed decisions on OHS issues
The road to ZERO HARM Zero Harm Attaining ZERO HARM is a journey which is long, windy and bumpy Through TRIPARTISM, huge progress has been made in reducing the frequency of mining fatalities in the SAMI: 482 in 1994 vs 84 fatalities in 2014. Reaching the CTF’s 2020 milestones is indeed a difficult task that calls for dedication and co-operation from all Zero Harm Skills, capacity and training Relevant knowledge and information Health and Safety Culture
Conclusion - Attaining ZERO HARM The 2014 OHS milestones includes the implementation of CTF pillars as agreed upon by our Principals. Implementation of CTF Pillars, research outcomes and leading practices are Mining Charter requirements aimed at improving OHS conditions. Stakeholders are encouraged to think out of the box and come up with practices which surpasses the CTF minimum standards thus potentially become LP for the sector.
