Focusing on the Essentials

posted: 17/07/2023

Our Nickel Department, including Raglan Mine and Sudbury INO in Quebec and Ontario, respectively, is keeping its employees safe using two new tools introduced to its employees: Frontline Safety Essentials and Process Safety Essentials.

Launched internally in April 2022, Frontline Safety Essentials improves occupational safety by outlining the necessary measures – those items crucial in preventing a serious injury or worse – to be put in place to safely manage the risk posed by a hazard.

While occupational safety focuses on having effective safety barriers around our people, process safety focuses on efficient safety barriers around the hazard. So, in complement to our Frontline Safety Essentials, we launched our Process Safety Essentials earlier this year.

Bringing SafeWork to life

Frontline Safety Essentials

Process Safety Essentials

"Whether Working at Height, Mobile Equipment, Electrical Safety or Energy Isolation, each scenario has its own set of clear and essential measures to keep employees safe on the front line. Frontline Safety Essentials was developed to address typical missing controls, or failure modes, we have seen in serious incidents in our type of industry, as well as in our own Nickel Department."

Pierre Barrette - Vice President, Raglan Mine

"Process Safety Essentials emphasizes the good daily operational practices to prevent events, such as fires, explosions, and releases of hazardous materials and energies, which could have catastrophic health and safety, environmental, and social consequences."

Peter Xavier - Vice President, Sudbury INO

Safety share

While we welcome friendly competition within our industry, when it comes to safety, we all benefit when we share information and experiences. Ultimately, we share the same goal to ensure every employee and contractor goes home in the same condition as they left for work.

In that spirit, we are making our Frontline Safety Essentials and Process Safety Essentials readily available for download. If you want to adapt these materials to suit your operation, please send a request for the original artwork and source files via email to info@glencore.ca.
