New Safety Record at Tomago Aluminium – 2 Million Hours LTI Free

Tomago Aluminium will roll out the red carpet and celebrate the significant achievement of two million hours without a Lost Time Injury, today (Wednesday, October 17).

Celebrations will begin at the Plant this morning and continue until Friday to acknowledge the significance of the event and recognise the commitment of everyone on-site.

In acknowledging this milestone, Tomago Aluminium Chief Executive Officer Andre Martel said, “Hazards and associated risks are inherent in an operating environment such as an aluminium smelter and this new safety record is proof of everyone’s complete dedication to reducing risks, preventing injury and maintaining safety at the highest standard.

“Achieving two million hours of safe work activity requires the total involvement and commitment of all our personnel. Safety is our leading value and this event is evidence of our commitment to embrace this culture and work together as a team to achieve great things. They deserve to be congratulated and thanked.

“As we continue on our safety journey we remain vigilant about improving the systems and processes which help us to positively progress our safety performance. The achievement of this milestone indicates our potential to continue to even greater levels of performance in the future,” he said.

Tomago Aluminium was also recently announced as a finalist in the Best Safety Management Systems category of the 2007 WorkCover NSW Safe Work Awards. The winners will be announced on October 25.
