We constantly assess our workplaces to protect the health and wellbeing of both employees and contractors.
SafeWork is a safety initiative adopted by all Glencore operations and projects, including the Aurukun Bauxite Project.

Education, counselling, prevention and treatment programs focus on effectively addressing health issues such as fatigue, musculoskeletal disorders, diabetes, heart disease, influenza, obesity, nutrition and occupational illnesses.
Through collaborative work between the Traditional Owners of the area and our environmental specialists, we are building our knowledge of the local environment.
Since our first visit to Aurukun in 2013, we have been committed to openly and transparently discussing the potential benefits and impacts of the project with the community.
