RESPONSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES ARE CORE TO THE BUSINESS STRATEGY OF THE GROUP AND INTEGRATED INTO EVERY ASPECT OF THE OPERATION

Health and Safety

Group policy is to put the life of our personnel above all else. We have zero tolerance rules that absolutely prohibit any deviation from the Group's safety rules and procedures.

Priorities, Policies and Programs

Fresnillo has adopted the occupational health and safety guidelines of the International Labour Organisation and the World Health Organisation to develop our workplace policies and programmes. We comply with all regulations put forth by the Mexican Ministry of Labour.

In accordance with these guidelines, each mine has a health and safety commission (known as Comisión de Seguridad e Higiene) comprised of executives and union and non-union employees who monitor and review performance. These commissions are also responsible for the implementation of training and safety programmes.

To encourage a culture of health and safety, we provide on-going training through programmes such as Occupational Illnesses Prevention ProgrammeSafety Conduct ProgrammeSafety Programme for Facilitators, Hazardous Materials Management and First Aid.

At Herradura we installed and INMERSIVE simulator to train operators for open pit off-road trucks.
This simulator virtually exposes workers to difficult operational situations such as equipment failure or special atmospheric conditions.
