Health Safety Environment and Community
IronClad Mining Limited (“IronClad) aspires to Zero Harm our employees, the community and the environment through promoting and maintaining a safe and healthy working environment and striving to achieve leading industry practice. Health Safety Environment and Community (HSEC) performance of all employees will be assessed and considered in all appointment, promotion and disciplinary decisions. This policy has been developed to ensure, as a minimum, compliance with relevant legislation and will be reviewed to continually improve our performance.

- Encourage a culture of positive responsibility in all employees and contractors towards their own safety and the safety of others and continual improvement through open reporting and thorough investigation of root causes of incidents and accidents to prevent recurrences;
- Establish and maintain suitable programs to meet the policy objectives.
To achieve this we will:
- Implement and maintain work practices which are safe and reduce the risk to health of our employees, the environment and the community;
- Provide training, re-training, information, instruction and supervision for all employees to enable them to perform their work safely;
- Ensure contractors adopt and implement HSEC standards at least to those of IronClad Mining at our sites;
