Sustainability Report 2023 36 Our EHS&SMS framework provides guidelines for identifying, evaluating, and addressing risks, hazards, and impacts within our operations. It outlines the necessary controls and mitigation measures to be implemented. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we regularly monitor and review our processes, aligning with the Plan-DoCheck-Act (PDCA) model, to enhance the performance and effectiveness of our management systems. Every job undergoes an annual hazard identification review, which involves assessing potential hazards associated with routine and non-routine work activities. We adhere to our internal standard operating procedure, SOP-008HSE-2017: Hazard Report, whereby hazard reports are generated monthly to reporting any identified hazards. In the event of an accident, we initiate the accident investigation process in accordance with SOP-022-HSE-2017, implementing controls to prevent similar incidents from occurring. The K3LH committee conducts a hazard identification and risk assessment (IBPR) to review the accident. A mandatory Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is conducted by the Health and Safety (H&S) department as part of our standard operating procedures (SOP). Supervisors identify the risks of high-consequence injuries in work activities, which are then reflected in the JSA and communicated to the employees. This ensures that workers adhere to safe working procedures, receive effective supervision, and that all potential hazards are identified and eliminated. In addition to the safety team's daily patrols, field supervisors conduct regular inspections to evaluate the safety of various work areas, including warehouses, mining pits, workshops, and sites for hazardous and toxic waste disposal. These inspections aim to ensure that the work environment is secure. Our ongoing monthly safety rewards programme aims to encourage employees to actively participate in implementing positive safety behaviours. Employees are rewarded with small tokens such as bags or other daily use items if there have been 0 incidents within the hazard report for the month. This program serves as an incentive for employees to observe and report any hazards or address outstanding safety concerns within the mine area. Consequently, all employees have developed a heightened awareness and appreciation for the importance of health, safety, work, and environmental considerations. They also exhibit increased engagement in hazard identification and safe work practices. Health and safety training programmes Both the Group and mining operators are committed to providing appropriate education and training to employees working at sites that entail potential environmental and social risks. These training programs, which are conducted two to three times per year, equip employees with the necessary knowledge and skills to fulfil their EHS responsibilities and meet site requirements during project activities. The primary objective of these trainings is to enhance awareness and foster a strong safety culture within our operations. By minimising the occurrence of unsafe conditions and work practices, these initiatives aim to prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of our workforce. In 2023, the trainings conducted by the K3LH committee are outlined below: • IBPR Training (Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment);
