**How we are committed to your safety**

Nothing is more important to us than ensuring you return home safely after a day’s work. To make that happen, we have the most rigorous safety standards in the industry. Not only that, we’re also continually investing in new technologies - from drones to data analytics - that are helping to make mining safer.
