Nick Holland, the chief executive of Gold Fields, said:
“The one million fatality-free shifts at Kloof demonstrates that safe
working can be achieved at deep-level gold mines. It has also given a
significant boost to our safety efforts throughout all our operations
following the very unfortunate accidents we had earlier this year.
Safety remains the number one priority within Gold Fields and we are
currently conducting a comprehensive audit of our safety practices and
safety performance at our mines in South Africa. If we can go for more
than 50 days at a deep-level mine such as Kloof without one fatal
injury, then I firmly believe that our goal of having zero fatalities on all
Gold Fields mines can be realised.”
