ISO/OHSAS CERTIFICATION
Nine of the group’s 12 operations have achieved both
the international health and safety certification (OHSAS
18001) and environmental certification (ISO 14001). Our business
units are also starting the process of converting from OHSAS
18001:1999 to OHSAS: 18001:2007. The group aims to have all
business units fully compliant to both standards by December
2008. |

Environmental incidents: 2007
To measure our continuous improvement, guidelines
are in place for al lbusiness operations to report
on relevant air quality, water quality and water use
performance indices. Reporting is through an electronic
environmental management system and, from captured
data, trend analyses can be conducted for each business
operation to determine compliance, among others, and
to investigate any complaints that might have been
received.

Capturing and sharing lessons learned after completing
a project is an important part of process improvement. Incident
reporting is mandatory at all our operations
and this is an indicator that our systems are fully functional.
A total of 941 environmental incidents were reported for
the year, mostly minor to moderate. Three signifi cant
or level 1 environmental incidents were reported: two of
these at North Block Complex (burning discard dump and slurry
spillage, both at Strathrae) while the third was a diesel
spill at Leeuwpan, which was addressed by an external service
provider. The incidents at North Block Complex were addressed
by mine personnel.
