The company said the ongoing focus on its “Safehaven Rules” and behavior-based training underpinned the improved safety outcome.

“Whitehaven’s longer term goal is to achieve zero harm to our people,” it said.

Whitehaven has sought to enhance its Safehaven Program with the creation of a video to promote the program’s seven safety rules. 

Featuring employees and their families, the film’s theme of “Would you put your child in that situation?” prompts workers to check the controls they have in place are good enough to allow a child in that particular situation.

“Providing a safe working environment for employees is critical at Whitehaven Coal and is key to the group’s improving financial performance,” the company said.

 “Whitehaven Coal provides training, equipment, resources and systems to create the safest possible work environment at each site. 

“Building a culture of safety awareness is the foundation for continuous improvement to exceed targets and to exceed industry averages.”
