SUNDANCE RESOURCES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014 21
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The integrated Health, Safety, Environment and
Community Management System was finalised and
provides Sundance and its subsidiary companies with
a comprehensive and robust HSEC system capable of
delivering on our stated HSEC goals throughout all facets
of the existing and future developments of the Project.
A number of safety programs have been introduced
over the year including Community Road Safety
Awareness workshops. These workshops were
facilitated by Congo Iron SA and Cam Iron SA
and involved a range of stakeholders including
representatives from government and logging
company operators. The intent was to increase local
knowledge of road hazards and develop local road
safety committees that are empowered to monitor and
implement road safety initiatives with the support of
local government officials.
This system is based upon the IFC Performance
Standards, the Equator Principles III, World Bank Group
Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines, ISO
9001 quality management system requirements and
incorporates ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards.
The Health and Safety Committees for Sundance
and its subsidiary companies convened to review
and develop initiatives, policies and procedures to
improve work health and safety outcomes. The joint
committees were established to create and maintain
active interest in health and safety, reduce incidents
and to promote an awareness of health and safety
issues across all divisions of the business.
Sundance Resources demonstrated good safety performance during 2013/2014 with
no permanent or serious injuries being sustained by our employees and a Lost Time
Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 1.78 and a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate
(TRIFR) of 5.35.
