At Jellinbah Group, our priority is to protect the health and safety of personnel by having a safe working environment. This is achieved by a strong focus on WHS as it relates to all persons involved in or directly affected by mining operations.
At our mine sites, we have the advantage of having access to a number of highly qualified and experienced employees within the coal industry. We have an absolute focus on WHS for our work force, which is integrated into the day-to-day activities at the mine. This proactive approach includes risk management processes to identify and manage hazards at the mine, along with an industry leading approach to the well-being of our entire workforce.
Jellinbah Mine has been running an Employee Health Program for the past 25 years, which is the longest running program within the industry in Queensland.
We were also very proud when Jellinbah Mine was the recipient of the Queensland Government Healthy Queensland Corporate award in 2009. This award recognised the culture at Jellinbah Mine, and was based on a program which involved up to 12 initiatives over the past 25 years. The current program includes, voluntary health assessments, gym assistance, nutrition advice, QUIT smoking, physiotherapy support, Mates in Mining and information deliveries by a variety of media and health professionals.
The combination of the Safety & Health programs along with the strong focus on the risk management processes, have put Jellinbah Group mines in a strong position to support our valued work force and also provide a reliable supply of coal to our valued customers.
