CRITICAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Safety and health above all else—this is our unwavering commitment. Our critical risk management strategy is central to honoring that pledge.

​Our critical risk management strategy marks a significant shift in our focus. We’ve identified our top nine health and safety risks that we know CAN kill or seriously injure one of our people, as well as our top four environmental risks, that if not managed can result in significant environmental harm.

​This page summarises the controls we want to see in place whenever any of the critical risk activities are undertaken.

Learn more about our critical risk framework

  • Critical Risk is a potential unwanted event that could result in one or more fatalities, and/or significant environmental harm.

  • Critical Control is a highly relied upon control that is crucial to preventing the occurrence of an unwanted event or mitigating the consequences of the unwanted event if it did occur. The absence or failure of a critical control would significantly increase the risk despite the existence of the other controls.

  • Critical Risk Management is the proactive process of identifying, understanding, and managing critical risks that involves a systematic approach to ensure critical controls are in place and effective.
