SAFETY
In FY2015 IGO employees and contractors worked
1,008,390 hours. In all, 114 of our people suffered injuries
of some type at IGO operated sites. This is 14% lower than
the 132 injuries we recorded during 2014.
Including Tropicana, there we 280 injuries. There were
no fatalities, serious injuries or permanently disabling
injuries at either IGO operated sites or at the Tropicana
Gold Mine. At IGO sites most of the injuries were minor:
11 injuries required medical treatment, time off work
or meant people were assigned to alternate duties.
It is acknowledged that the significant injuries were
painful and caused distress to the injured people, their
workmates and their families.
In total IGO had six loss time injuries (LTI) for FY2015, and
four restricted work injuries (RWI). In FY2015 IGO had five
injuries that resulted in workers compensation claims.
IGO’s lost-time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) was 2.94
injuries per million hours worked by our employees and
contractors in 2015. These results are in line with the most
recently published averages1 for the Western Australian
gold mining and nickel mining sectors which have a
reported LTIFR of 2.6 and 3 respectively.

LTI – Lost Time Injury – Injuries that result in individuals not being able for work for a time.
Restricted Work Injuries – injuries that require an individual to so something other than their normal job.
MTI – Medically Treated Injuries – an injury requiring medical treatment.
IGO’s safety performance has improved steadily over the last three years as measured by our key injury frequency rates (LTIFR
and total injury frequency (TIF) rate).
While we are encouraged by the improvement in our injury rates, we are not satisfied with our overall safety performance.
Our clear objective is to improve. Our goal is to have no significant injuries (defined as any injury requiring medical treatment
or time off work).
