Safety

At Hastings Deering we have implemented five year Strategic Safety Plans that include initiatives to support the delivery of a No Harm workplace. Over the last three years, we have achieved a company-wide transformation of our safety performance with a >85% reduction of our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR). However, we will never be satisfied until No Harm is achieved and all of our people can return home safely, every day.

Environment

At Hastings Deering, we are progressively minimising our environmental impact at all operations. With a number of environmental targets already achieved, our focus is now on the reduction of C02 emissions, waste and water management. To assist our customers, Hastings Deering provides expert advice to optimise equipment maintenance approaches that can improve fuel burn, reduce emissions, reduce component wear and increase service intervals. Leveraging class leading technologies along with practical advice in fleet management, predictive maintenance, collision avoidance and equipment repower options can contribute to improved operational efficiency and lower emissions. Examples include the repowering of D11R dozers where reductions in carbon emissions of 40% are being achieved and the re-engineering of a fleet of underground hard rock loaders where an up to 42% diesel particulate emissions reduction has been achieved.
