Safety

A regrettable double fatality occurred at RBM when two contractors lost their lives after entering a confined space. In 2007 the all injury frequency rate (AIFR) for the Industrial Minerals operations was 0.89 compared to 0.87 in 2006. The AIFR for Diamonds was 1.51 compared to 1.01 in 2006, including the Argyle underground project. A major focus continues to be delivery of a sustainable approach to safety improvement.
