In April, we launched the refreshed One Voice Safety Strategy at the CEO Safety Summit. It came with a clear message: we talk about safety in one voice, because we are One Exxaro.<\/p>\n

But we didn\u2019t stop there. Over the past five weeks, our teams across the business brought this strategy to life \u2014 not in theory, but in practice. Through real conversations, hands-on activities, and everyday actions, we moved from knowing the strategy to living it. One pillar. One discussion. One commitment at a time.<\/p>\n

We were reminded that safety starts with how we communicate. Toolbox Talks, Safety Shares, and group discussions helped us reflect on what safety means to us and how we speak about it \u2014 with consistency and care.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Week 2: I am a leader. Safety starts with me” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”800px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”16px” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”16px” background_color=”#5e9fbb” custom_margin=”|6%||6%|false|true” custom_padding=”1%||1%|0px|true|false” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

We saw that safety leadership doesn\u2019t belong to one person \u2014 it belongs to all of us. Whether it was speaking up, stepping in, or supporting a teammate, leadership was everywhere.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Week 3: No HIRA, No Work” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”800px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”16px” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”16px” background_color=”#5e9fbb” custom_margin=”|6%||6%|false|true” custom_padding=”1%||1%|0px|true|false” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

We paused to reassess how we manage risks. HIRA was revisited across sites, and teams shared real examples of how risk assessment protects lives. No shortcuts. No assumptions.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Week 4: A zero-tolerance approach will save my life” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”800px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”16px” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”16px” background_color=”#5e9fbb” custom_margin=”|6%||6%|false|true” custom_padding=”1%||1%|0px|true|false” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

We reinforced that safety is non-negotiable. We committed to the rules, the standards, and doing the right thing \u2014 always, even when no one is watching.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Week 5: Safety training is for life” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”800px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”16px” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”16px” background_color=”#5e9fbb” custom_margin=”|6%||6%|false|true” custom_padding=”1%||1%|0px|true|false” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

We reminded ourselves that learning doesn\u2019t stop. Through knowledge sharing, interactive sessions, and open discussions, we strengthened the confidence to keep learning \u2014 and to keep each other safe.<\/p>\n

These five weeks weren\u2019t just a campaign, they were a mental shift. They showed us that safety is not just something we talk about once a year, but something we practice every day.<\/p>\n

So to every person who took part, led a session, asked a question, completed an activity or supported a colleague \u2013 thank you. You\u2019ve helped bring our One Voice Safety Strategy to life. You\u2019ve shown that Zero Harm is a goal we walk in together, step by step. And, above all, thank you for reminding us that safety, like progress, starts with people.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s keep learning, keep leading and keep talking in One Voice \u2013 Safety Always, All the Way.<\/p>\n
