OceanaGold reports Didipio fatality
Toronto-listed OceanaGold on Friday reported the death of a contractor working at its Didipio mine, in the Philippines.
The worker sustained serious head injuries while attempting to remove a metal blockage from a jaw crusher in late July. He passed away recently in hospital.
The company said that there had been no impact to production as a result of the event.
"We are all deeply saddened by this tragic event, especially those at Didipio who have lost two colleagues in a short period," said president and CEO Gerard Bond.
"Although the two events are unrelated, we are taking immediate action at Didipio to improve the effectiveness of the OurSafe Behaviours safety programme, increase hazard identification training - particularly in relation to stored energy - and expand in-field coaching on the identification of critical and high-risk tasks and verification of critical controls. Ensuring the safety of our workforce is paramount,” he stated.
