Health & Safety
Our commitment to zero harm and the wellbeing of our people.
Health and Safety
At Azumah, the health and safety of our employees, contractors, visitors, and the communities in which we operate are our highest priorities.
We are dedicated to creating a workplace where safety is at the forefront of everything we do. Safety and healthy workforce are fundamental to Azumah's vision, mission, and values and is essential to our commitment to our people, our communities and to the successful operation of our business.
Safety First
Always
Our Safety Strategy
Our Safety Strategy comprises three mutually supportive pillars to support our goal to eliminate safety risks to our people:
Safety leadership
Safe behaviours
Safety systems and processes
Our Goal: Zero Incidents
We are committed to achieving a zero-incident workplace. This requires the participation and dedication of everyone at Azumah. By fostering a culture of safety and accountability, we can ensure that everyone goes home safely at the end of each day.
Safety is a Shared Responsibility
Every member of our team plays a critical role in maintaining a safe work environment. Together, we can make Azumah a model of health and safety excellence in the industry.
Our Safety Promise
The commitments we make to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone at Azumah.
Safety First
Safety is our first priority. No task is so important that it cannot be done safely. This is anchored in our health and safety policy. Employees are encouraged to decline work if they think an assigned task are potentially hazardous.
Continuous Learning
We provide ongoing training and education to ensure everyone is equipped with the knowledge and skills to work safely.
Proactive Hazard Management
We identify and mitigate potential hazards before they can cause harm.
Use of PPE
Even though this is the last resort in our risk management, we ensure all our team members have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and understand how to use it correctly.
Incident Reporting
Our incident management procedure outlines the steps to be taken for handling and resolving all incidents in an organized manner for all exploration and mining operations. We encourage immediate reporting of any unsafe conditions, acts or incidents to continually improve our safety practices. Azumah Resources embraces a 'no fault/ blame' culture – one in which employees have the freedom to make mistakes and errors. These human frailties provide evidence of system failure and are the lessons we learn from to build better system defences. That not withstanding a violation of company rules, regulations and code of ethics leading to an incident will attract all consequences stipulated by Human Resource (HR).
