Attaining ZERO HARM is a journey Long Windy Very bumpy SAMI has achieved major successes but the challenge is ever-constant. In support of DMR Strategic Objectives

Occupational Safety – Fatalities and Injuries – Milestones Industry Target: Zero rate of fatalities and injuries Benchmark less than 1 fatality per 33 million hours worked by 2013 Occupational Health – Milestones Industry Target: Elimination of Silicosis No new cases of silicosis for new employees from 2008 Industry target: Elimination of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) Deterioration < 10% Noise from any & all equipment < 110 dB(A) Health and Safety Yardstick
