    Our approach to safety

    At Rio Tinto our goal is for everyone to go home safe at the end of each shift. Eliminating
    fatalities and catastrophic events, while reducing the number and severity of injuries, is
    something we strive for each and every day. Our approach to safety goes beyond
    compliance and seeks to achieve year-on-year improvement.

    We have global Safety standards which address key areas of risk. The standards provide
    consistency in safety management and performance across our global operations and
    projects. Our businesses are audited internally against these standards and are expected
    to meet safety performance requirements and targets.

    Our priorities for effective safety performance and management


    To manage risk and improve performance we utilise an integrated framework that builds
    upon the policies, global strategies and standards that are developed and implemented
    across the Group. We expect safety engagement at all levels of the organisation,
    supported by effective management systems that are fit for purpose, and internal controls
    that include monitoring and reporting against relevant metrics.

    To achieve this we:

    • Ensure behaviour is aligned with our values – respect, integrity, teamwork and
    accountability.

    • Report and investigate all incidents, ensuring the learnings are shared and
    implemented across the organisation.

    • Actively involve employees and contractors in all areas of safety management.

    • Implement safety performance standards and expectations for managing critical


    risks associated with aviation, confined spaces, cranes and lifting, electrical
    works, isolation, vehicles and driving, and working at heights.

    • Deploy training to ensure employees and contractors understand the controls for
    managing the risks.

    • Measure and monitor our performance against the minimum safety standards.

    • Maintain an appropriate safety assurance framework through a range of audits,


    reviews and verifications against our standards.

    • Develop, implement and embed a focus on process safety and fatality prevention
    programmes.

    • Establish, implement and monitor critical control plans to manage our key safety
    risks.
    • Expect our leaders to be visible and passionate champions for safety. They
    willingly accept accountability for the safety of everyone working in their teams
    and consistently set high standards through their behaviour, where everyone is
    committed to their own safety and the safety of their workmates.
