Whitehaven hits 13.5-year safety milestone at Narrabri plant
Coal producer Whitehaven has recorded more than 5 000 days without a lost time injury (LTI) and 60 months without a total recordable injury (TRI) at its Narrabri coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP) in Queensland.
Reflecting on the milestone, surface operations manager Ashley Howland says it shows the unwavering commitment to safety and care exhibited by every member of the team.
“Since we processed the first coal on July 5 2010, our team has operated without a single LTI. This remarkable achievement is a testament to the proactive safety culture we’ve worked so hard to build. Beyond the numbers, it’s also a reflection of how we look out for each other, ensuring safety is always our top priority – both at work and at home.
“This success is the result of everyone’s diligence, vigilance, and dedication. Whether it’s the crews operating on the front lines, maintaining equipment, or supporting operations, our commitment to safety ensures that we continue to thrive without incident,” he continues.
To celebrate this milestone, Whitehaven presented eskies, or portable coolers, to each member of the team.
“These eskies represent more than just a token of appreciation, they’re a reminder of our ongoing commitment to safety. It’s a way for the team to take that message home with them as they enjoy time with family and friends over summer.
“While this milestone is a remarkable accomplishment, we know there is always more to do when it comes to safety and we must continue to work hard to look out for each other,” Howland adds.
Whitehaven says the Narrabri CHPP’s success reflects its commitment to creating a safe work environment.
The company says that ensuring the safety and wellbeing of its employees, its workplaces, and the communities it serves is “at the heart of everything Whitehaven does,” noting that this is underpinned by the company’s core values of safety, teamwork, respect, integrity, value creation and excellence.
