11. What Do the Best Companies Do for SH&E?
Clearly describe what people are expected to do for SH&E
Make SH&E a line management responsibility and accountability
Incorporate safety into the business process as an operational strategy
Use proactive SH&E measurements
Have executives, Managers and business partners that do not support SH&E management
—they lead it

12. Contractor SH&E Risk Rating System
Underlying principles:
Accountability and responsibility for SH&E must be legally enforceable on the correct party.
Outsourcing of work does not relieve Sasol Mining of MHSA accountability
Contractor owners, managers, supervisors and workers must have the skills and the work ethic to comply with SH&E requirements.
Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (HIRA) must carry higher status than cost, product quality and time management during work planning.
Effective risk mitigating codes, standards and procedures must be in place before work commences.
User-friendly management systems of continuous risk measurement, monitoring and corrective action must be in place.
The risk rating system should be contractually enforceable, defendable in the public eye, and – it must be the right thing to do.

13. Contractor SH&E Risk Rating System
Green Risk Rating
These Contractors are considered to possess the commitment, organizational ability and competence to effectively manage their SH&E performance equitably with Sasol Mining.
This must be the only acceptable rating for Sasol Mining to wish to continue a commercial relationship with a contracting company
Yellow Risk Rating
Any contractor, upon appointment will carry a yellow risk rating until he has shown that the underlying principles above are in place.
Yellow risk rated contractors have either not yet proven their ability to maintain a green rating or they have allowed their SH&E performance to slip from contracted levels. Additional management effort from the Contracting company and over-inspection from Sasol Mining are required to ensure contractual requirements are met and justify a Green Rating.

14. Contractor SH&E Risk Rating System
Orange Risk Rating
These Contractors are not meeting contractual SH&E requirements either through a deficiency in ownership/management structure or by resource inadequacy (incompetent employees or substandard equipment).
Sasol Mining accountable person must take a risk assessment based decision on the continuation of a contract with an orange risk rated company. This decision will only be justified on condition of acceptable undertakings from Contractor owners and agreement for continuance from the next higher level Sasol Mining accountable person and the Sasol Mining Group Safety manager.
This decision must be reported to the Sasol Mining Risk Manager.

15. Contractor SH&E Risk Rating System
Red Risk Rating
These Contractor’s would normally be commercially admissible to a Sasol Mining vendors list but do not meet SH&E requirements.
The onus remains on them to establish the capabilities to comply.
Existing contracts are suspended, and the contractor is to be removed from the vendors list until SH&E compliance criteria have been met.
The decision to reinstate a contract or re-admit a contractor to the vendors list will only be justified on condition of acceptable undertakings from Contractor owners and agreement for continuance from the MHSA act 3(1) Sasol Mining appointee and the Sasol Mining Group Safety manager.
This decision must be reported to the Sasol Mining Risk Manager

Contractor Risk Rating is restored to GREEN upon successful re-establishment of contractual requirements as measured by formal SH&E audit
2nd incident (before GREEN status is restored)
Contractor is given an ORANGE Risk Rating
Work is temporarily suspended on the basis of unacceptable SH&E risk
Contractor is issued with a second contractual non-compliance notification

Copyright Sasol Ltd 2005

19. Applying the SH&E Risk Rating System
3rd incident (before GREEN status is restored)
Contractor is given an RED Risk Rating
Work at all sites run by that Contractor is suspended on the basis of unacceptable SH&E risk
Contractor is to redo his Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (HIRA) and review his mitigating codes, standards and procedures for re-acceptance by Sasol Mining
Sasol Mining accountable person must re-assess and approve the Contractor’s compliance to the contractual requirements prior to re-instatement
NB Multiple incidents resulting from systemic shortcomings (inadequate leadership) will result in the rescinding of the statutory appointments of contractor personnel. This effectively requires Contractor to provide next higher level or other acceptable supervision on site.
