Mining Weekly reports that De Beers Group’s Venetia mine, in Limpopo, has reached a landmark achievement of 13-million fatality-free shifts, placing the mine among a small group of mining operations in Southern Africa that have reached that level of sustained safety performance.
The diamond miner said the accomplishment reflected the unwavering commitment of employees, contractors and leadership to creating and sustaining a safe and caring work environment. The mine has implemented a range of proactive safety initiatives over the years, with a focus on embedding a culture of shared responsibility and vigilance. One such initiative is the Safe Sentry programme where team members nominate a sentry for each shift to observe, record and communicate safety behaviours and potential hazards in real time. “At Venetia mine, we believe zero harm is possible, and this achievement brings us closer to making that belief a reality,” said De Beers Venetia mine senior GM Ntokozo Ngema.
