Performance
Each year, Newmont evaluates the progress made in meeting our HSLP objectives, as well as establishing new targets for the coming year. Despite our successes, we strive for continuous improvement to ensure that every employee goes home uninjured and safely to their families.
In 2010, we expanded our company-wide education and assessment rollout of the "Newmont Safety Journey" Maturity Model, a road map to assist individuals, work teams, departments, sites and the regions in their assessment of progress toward fully integrating safety into everything they do.
After rolling out the Safety Journey to parts of the company in the second half of 2009, we were equipped during 2010 to measure ourselves against a baseline assessment - a snapshot in time - of our progress along the Safety Journey from awareness to integration.
In 2010, Newmont had one work-related fatality. On January 17, 2010, Pak Johanis Dawir, the operator of Wheel Dozer RD004 with an attached box grader, finished eating his lunch at Dispatch Knob Stockpile and then returned to his assigned duties, which were to maintain roads from RL060 to the Crusher Ramp including the South and North ramps. At approximately 11:15 am, a portion of the East wall pit failed. Pak Johanis was in transit in his wheel dozer below F-25. The failed material pushed RD004 from the RL65 down to the inner ramp at RL045 and buried RD004 with the operator in the cabin.
Newmont's goal is to have zero work-related injuries and fatalities, and we firmly believe that every accident is preventable. For more information on the issue of pit wall stability, please visit this page.
The following table provides a snapshot of our performance on specific initiatives and activities we wanted to achieve during the year. The targets were set to ensure alignment with the critical success factors outlined in Newmont's HSLP Strategic Plan.
