KCGM is committed to a process of continual improvement to fully meet and uphold the policies and standards of the two Joint Venture Owners, Barrick Gold of Australia Limited and Newmont Australia Limited, with regard to management of workplace safety, health and environmental management. KCGM is also fully supportive of the Joint Venture owner commitments to the principles of practices of the Gold Institute and the Australian Mining Industry Code for Environmental Management.
The requirements and expectations of the two Joint Venture Owner policies and standards will prevail in the management of KCGM operations. The documents of the two Owners are formatted differently and offer various explanatory notes or cross references to other Standards and Guidelines. The Inside KCGM intranet provides access to the policies and standards of Newmont, Barrick and KCGM.
An important process of management of systems and operational performance is that of Audit. Regular auditing is carried out by the Joint Venture Owners for Safety, Health and Environment, including both internal and external Auditors to verify the auditing process and outcomes. In addition, KCGM and the Owners will commission subject specific-Audits to support this program as required.
