All of JSE- and NYSE-listed Sibanye-Stillwater’s South African operations have been accredited with the International Organisation for Standardisation’s (ISO's) 45001 certification (ISO 45001).
The ISO 45001 is an international standard for occupational health and safety certification designed to protect employees and visitors from injury and ill health, as well as to ensure their continued health and safety in the workplace.
It provides a framework to increase safety, reduce workplace risks and enhance health and wellbeing at work, enabling an organisation to proactively improve its occupational health and safety performance.
CEO Neal Froneman says the accreditation was achieved at both the group’s South African gold and platinum group metals operations.
“The adoption of global industry best practice certification demonstrates our unwavering commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy environment and community through the implementation of world-class systems.
“Nothing is more important than the safety, health and wellbeing of our employees. We believe that everyone has the right to a safe working environment and that every employee should go home safe and unharmed, every single day,” he comments.
