Safety, environment and the communities we work in

Rehabilitation costed at the start and provisioned monthly. Safety briefed before every shift and logged. Neither is a policy document — both are line items.

Position

The cheapest environmental cost is the one you plan for.

Closure liabilities do not become real at closure. They become real when the ground is first disturbed, and a company that has not provisioned for them by then is relying on someone else to pay.

Our operating budgets carry a rehabilitation line from the first month, provisioned against an agreed closure plan. It is one of the reasons our quotes are occasionally higher than a competitor's, and we would rather explain that than discover it later.

The same logic governs safety. A stopped shift costs a shift. An incident costs an investigation, a suspension, and a licence that becomes difficult to renew.

Commitments

Six things we hold ourselves to.

Written as obligations rather than aspirations, so that failing one is visible.

Every shift is briefedA documented safety briefing before work starts, with attendance recorded. No briefing, no shift.
Incidents are reported immediatelyInternally and, where required, to the authority — before any internal discussion about what it means.
Rehabilitation is funded monthlyProvisioned against a closure plan agreed at the start, not estimated at the end.
Water is managed before clearanceDrainage, sediment control and discharge planned before the first machine moves, not after the first rain.
We hire locally firstCrews, drivers and support staff recruited from the districts we work in, and trained rather than screened out.
Community position is documentedWho is affected, what was agreed, and with whom — recorded in the same system as everything else.
Practice

How it runs day to day.

Obligations are tracked in Najd Office alongside licence deadlines, so an overdue environmental filing is as visible as an overdue renewal.

01

Baseline

Ground, water and community position recorded before disturbance, so change can later be attributed honestly.

02

Plan

Closure and water management designed into the mine plan and costed into the opening budget.

03

Operate

Briefings, inspections and monitoring logged. Provisions posted monthly, not annually.

04

Close

Backfill, regrade and revegetate against the agreed plan, with the funding already in place.

Ask us for the detail.

If you are assessing us as a contractor or a partner, the safety record and the rehabilitation provisioning are reasonable things to ask for. Both are available on request.
