CONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT
From time to time IGO engages contractors (as both businesses and individuals)
to provide various services at our sites (i.e. mine sites, exploration projects,
warehouses and offices). When contractors are at an IGO site, their safety and
welfare is IGO’s responsibility.
IGO’s Contractor Management Processes are evolving. We are in the process of
implementing minimum performance criteria (safety, environment, governance,
operating performance and site management) for our contractors. Once fully
implemented, all contractors will be subject to a pre-qualification process to ensure
they understand IGO’s requirements and are held to account in respect of their
performance. As a general principle, IGO expects contractors to conform to IGO’s
safety management system. Subject to contractual arrangements, IGO may require
a contractor to also operate in accordance with their own safety management
system. Irrespective of the arrangement, IGO expects that its contractors provide
their workforce with a safe system of work and a safe place of work. We expect
that they monitor and report on their performance, and that we see improved
trends in measured outcomes. Put simply, we expect to see the same high
standards expected of our direct employees, with no serious workplace injuries
and a declining trend in minor injuries.
Our major contractors have requirements in their contracts consistent with the
IGO Code of Conduct and Sustainability Standards. Our contractors are required to
undertake a comprehensive program of IGO and work site inductions to develop a
clear understanding of the requirements of working at our sites.
All contractors working at IGO sites are provided with an IGO representative to
manage their contract. This provides IGO with a direct opportunity to maintain
ongoing sustainability management.
