“Silly Season Start” When does “Silly Season Start”
Although systems and inspection/coaching frequencies remained the same there is still a loss in focus during this period. Absenteeism's increase and this escalates our risk exposure Numerous interviews with individuals have not heeded any significant reasons for this phenomena. Some of the reasons include: Fiscal reasons with the upcoming festive season. Family and travel arrangements being made Other psychological issues such as remembering loved ones lost during the year As Eastern Chrome mines we have increased safety stand downs We have SHEQ awareness coaching with individual teams Supervisors are focusing on the personal aspect at safety meetings As mentioned in the previous slide our employees have access to the “Careway's program” Next year we will be running a program setup by DCM – Debt control management.
