Our Approach

Health, Safety & Environment issues are regarded a very critical value within the Gem Diamonds Group and specifically at Letšeng Diamonds. Programmes to ensure continual improvement on HSE performance are in place. These programmes promote occupational health, prevention of injuries, protection to of property damage and protecting the environment. Subscription to an internationally-acclaimed HSE management system is one clear indication of Letšeng Diamonds’ commitment and belief that Zero Harm is attainable. National statutes provide bare minimal standards.

Therefore, genuine commitment to preventing accidents and incidents, especially in accident-prone mining and construction sectors, can only be achieved through continual improvement. Sound planning and leadership are key to providing strategic direction on health, safety and environment. Involvement of management and employees at all levels gives impetus to our programmes.

Some of the key pillars of our health, safety and environment programme at Letšeng Diamonds are: provision of enabling training, competencies, effective communication, management of operational risk and change, prompt reporting of incidents, including near-misses, at-risk behaviour and conditions, prevention-oriented investigations, sound management of corrective and preventive actions, promotion of safe behaviour, brother’s keeper principle at all levels and Visible Felt Leadership.
