Johannesburg - Sibanye-Stillwater was pleased to announce that its SA gold operations achieved 10 million fatality-free shifts on Wednesday 26 January. 


This is a significant milestone, which has never been achieved in the history of these gold operations, nor the history of the SA deep level gold mining industry.


The SA gold operations are amongst the deepest in the world, extending over 3km below the surface, which makes it a truly remarkable achievement considering that it was accomplished by 30,000 employees and contractors working safely for eight and a half hours a day, over 519 days since 25 August 2018.

Chief executive officer, Neal Froneman said: “Milestones like these illustrate what can be achieved when all stakeholders contribute constructively and work collectively.

Special appreciation goes to our workforce for working safely and living up to our CARES values (commitment, accountability, respect, enabling, safety). Our intense focus on safe production across the group continues, with the implementation of longer-term safety and cultural interventions a strategic priority.

We continue to promote meaningful engagement with all our stakeholders, as part of the safety improvement journey and in the development of our safety culture.”
