Kennecott Land: Commitment to safety and health

Commitment to safety and health

Part of sustainability is maintaining, promoting and tracking safety. Kennecott Land Employees value and practice safe work habits in the office, onsite at Daybreak and at home. Kennecott Land Employees are required to perform a minimum of 12 safety interaction audits onsite per year, where they evaluate and document the safe practices of our contractors. Employees also offer suggestions to improve safe work environments. In order to maintain safety, we follow the TRACK System.

Think through the tasks
Recognize the hazards
Assess the risks
Control the hazards
Keep safety first in all tasks

This practice keeps Kennecott Land employees and our contractors working in a safe environment. In 2006, Kennecott Land was recognized by the National Safety Council which awarded the Perfect Record Award. Kennecott Land Employees and contractors went a continuous 514,618 employee hours without occupational injury in 2006.

In 2008, Kennecott Land was recognized by Rio Tinto Chief Executive Tom Albanese as one of only three winners of the Chief Executive Safety Award. Kennecott Land was recognized for excellence in managing a large contract workforce, excellent safety performance and contribution to Rio Tinto’s safety performance over the last two years.
