Safety – A Way of Life
At Peabody, safety is a way of life, our first value and leading measure of excellence. It is integrated into all areas of our business and at the core of our strong, united workforce. We approach safety as a process and a passion, supporting our goal of an incident free workplace through a culture of innovation, accountability and continuous improvement at all levels of the organization.
Peabody’s health and safety efforts are led by the executive leadership team, with oversight by the board’s Health, Safety, Security and Environmental Committee (the “HSSE Committee”). Health and safety are core to the Peabody mission, and the success of the company’s efforts in these areas depends on the daily decisions and actions of each Peabody employee.
Safety Management Systems
Our vision is to operate safe, healthy and environmentally responsible workplaces that are incident free. Peabody’s Safety and Sustainability Management System is a risk-based approach that is the basis for continuous improvement in health, safety and environmental stewardship.
This system is independently certified under the U.S. National Mining Association’s CORESafety® framework and sets clear expectations for work activity at operations and the management principles that support a culture of participation and accountability among employees, contractors, visitors and vendors at our sites.
At Peabody Australia facilities, we have also aligned to the CORESafety® framework and will continue to drive proactive safety efforts and reinforce the positive actions of our people, remaining committed to making safety a way of life and eliminating harm by identifying and mitigating risks.
