Health and Safety
Detour Gold makes health and safety a priority in everything we do. Detour’s Health and Safety Policy is to
empower our workers to not only follow regulations but also promote a safety culture. We focus on assessment of
risks, open communication and continual improvement through our daily inspections, monthly Joint Health and
Safety Meetings and ongoing innovation.
Detour Gold’s Health and Safety management system is assessed annually, and areas of growth and improvement are
prioritized. Our Health and Safety Policy sets out clear principles for fostering a positive safety climate,
including establishing performance targets, and providing our workforce with the training needed to perform
their tasks safely.
We have identified the following organizational factors as contributing to our TRIFR, and have committed to improvement in these areas:
-
Training
-
Procedures
-
Maintenance Management
In 2019, our goal is to achieve a reduction in our 12-month rolling TRIFR on a monthly basis.
TRIFR: total recordable injury frequency rate per 200,000 hours worked.
