Environment
Environmental issues are an important aspect of any mine site.
It is necessary that everyone takes responsibility for limiting the mine’s impact on
the environment. Never disturb any areas with native vegetation or Fauna.
Approval and a permit is required from the mine owner before any topsoil or
vegetation is disturbed.
We need to ensure that we:
▪ Prevent and control all spills
▪ Clean-up and separate our waste and recycle where possible
▪ Control dust
▪ Clean up all waste. Place a waste into the correct bins as labelled
▪ Look out for wildlife on haul roads and the Stuart Highway
Any Wildlife interactions must be reported to your Supervisor
