Ramelius recognises the health, safety and wellbeing of its employees, contractors and visitors to its workplace as an essential consideration in everything it does. Ramelius aims to create a physically and mentally healthy working environment with improved workforce participation and increased social inclusion.

The Company’s Health and Safety Policy and Safety Management Standards (SMS) provide the foundation for the development and application of systems and standards at corporate and the site level. The SMS provide management with a clear understanding of the expected standards for managing health and safety. To meet these standards, the hazards associated with sites will be identified, assessed and controlled to minimise any risk they may pose to the health and safety of people.

The Health and Safety Policy and SMS forms part of the RMS Mine Safety Management System (MSMS), which includes these Standards, together with other associated documents (e.g., Policies, Standards, Risk Assessments, Procedures, Forms and Guidelines). Implementation of the SMS at site level is the responsibility of Site Management through the appointed Site Senior Executive or Exploration Manager. These Standards provide the blueprint that prescribes how health and safety is to be managed at all RMS Sites. At all times, Ramelius strives to increase the number of proactive safety systems and strategies being implemented across all sites. This includes undertaking regular systems development and standardisation for existing sites and rolling out the existing systems and process for new sites.

Ramelius is committed to minimising the risk of harm and supporting physical and mental health and wellbeing by:

Ramelius recognises that it works in a higher risk industry and that it must prioritise best practices in health and safety. Ramelius has a very low risk tolerance for failing to comply with its safety management system and causing any harm to any person.

Significant incidents require a more comprehensive investigation to be completed. Incident Cause Analysis Method (ICAM) is the Ramelius formal investigation method preferred for all incidents that require detailed analysis based on either risk or regularity of occurrence. The ICAM process enables identification of systemic health, safety or environmental deficiencies, assists investigation teams to identify root causes, contributing factors, corrective and preventative actions.

It is expected that all directors, executives, employees, and contractors contribute to a culture which prioritises an injury free and healthy workplace by valuing safe work practices through leadership, supervision and action. All personnel must take personal responsibility for their safety, health and wellbeing by:
