Safety is a core value and a major priority; our goal is zero injuries.

Everyone's behaviour contributes to an injury free workplace; full and consistent implementation of and accountability for Rio Tinto's comprehensive standards, guidelines, systems and procedures is required across the world.

Alongside this, we are building a supportive safety culture that requires visible leadership, ongoing education and training and a high level of participation by everyone in the workplace.

We place an uncompromising emphasis on hazard identification, risk assessment and risk management. We measure assurance through operational, corporate and external auditing and reporting processes.
