SAFEACCESS
FATALITY PREVENTION AND SAFETY ARE OUR TOP PRIORITIES
It is Access World’s intent to become a leader in the field

of safety and fatality prevention. We believe that we
can and will prevent fatalities from our workplaces.
We are working hard together to share excellence
across the group and have already seen substantial
improvements in a short timescale. This initial success
is the first step towards our objective: leading our
industry in fatality prevention and safety.

SAFEACCESS
SafeAccess is an initiative of Glencore, customized

for Access World AG (a Glencore owned company),
aimed at focussing its Warehouses and Facilities,
including all managers, employees and contractors
on elimination of fatalities and serious injuries. The
Life-Saving Behaviours and Fatal Hazard Protocols
listed in this document are fundamental components
of SafeAccess.


COMMITMENT
Access World is absolutely committed to making

SafeAccess a reality and this can only be achieved
with the combined commitment of every member of
our teams and other relevant stakeholders.
SafeAccess will only be as effective as the commitment
we make to implement the Protocols whilst continuing
to be vigilant regarding the health and safety of
ourselves and others.
THE ACCESS WORLD CODE OF CONDUCT AND VALUES STATE:

“The safety of our people is our number one priority. We believe that all the
fatalities, occupational diseases and injuries are preventable and we must all
take responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace”
“We are committed to a strong safety culture that requires visible leadership from
all levels of line management, and a high level of engagement from all employees
and contractors with a focus on hazard identification, risk analysis and risk
management.”
“We recognise that all of us have the authority to stop work if we consider
it to be unsafe.”
IF IT IS NOT SAFE, STOP WORK!

NO MORE FATALITIES!

IMPLEMENTATION
Access World Warehouses/Facilities are expected to

integrate the Life-Saving Behaviours and Fatal Hazard
Protocols into their site HS Management Systems.
Where HS Management Systems have not been developed
yet, this document developed for Access World should
be used as a minimum to address the prevention of
fatalities and eliminating injuries.
All requirements of the Access World Life-Saving Behaviours and Fatal Hazard
Protocols must be assessed for applicability to the site and remain consistent with the
Glencore SafeAccess material.
These Life-Saving Behaviours and Fatal Hazard Protocols shall be translated into the
various languages and implemented at sites through a structured process.

LIFE-SAVING BEHAVIOURS
Life-Saving Behaviours are intended to save lives and

by following them, we protect people from potential
fatal consequences. Life-Saving Behaviours have a
direct link, based on previous fatalities and industry
statistics, to the behaviours contravened just prior to
a fatal incident occurring.
Violations of Life-Saving Behaviours involve a serious life threatening act that was
wilfully committed with the full awareness of the consequences to oneself, others
and the business.
Access World’s proactive approach to preventing fatalities and caring for employees
requires that severe sanction is taken, prior to any injury occurring, for wilful violations
of Life Saving Behaviours. The approach, implemented with fairness and consistency,
will positively motivate everyone to value safety, protect themselves, their fellow
employees and the company assets.
The Life-Saving Behaviours apply to all Access World employees, temporary

employees, contractors, visitors and other people that are exposed to safety risks
at the Access World operated sites.
All employees, contractors and all other people on site must clearly understand that
a wilful violation of these Life-Saving Behaviours shall result in disciplinary proceedings
and will lead to a minimum sanction of a final written warning and / or suspension
and maximum sanction dismissal*. Sanction should be applied based on a fair
treatment process.
The foundation of the Life-Saving Behaviours is that all of us within Access World are
entitled to work in a safe work environment and to go back home free of harm and
uninjured.
*Note: A Sanction Policy should be set out by the Warehouse / Facility in consultation with the
Department / Division Human Resource and legal team and / or Warehouses / Facilities
Management team in the same country. To achieve the sanction proposed, it will in some
cases require a structured intentional process over a period of time.

LIFE-SAVING BEHAVIOURS
1 Always come to work drug and alcohol free.
2 Always use or wear critical safety equipment1.
3 Always wear appropriate fall protection equipment when working above

two (2) metres, or above a lower height where the country of operation legal
requirements are stricter.
4 Only operate equipment if trained and authorised.
5 Always isolate and ‘test for dead’ prior to working on energy sources.
6 Never modify or over-ride critical safety equipment without approval.
7 Always seek and obtain clear approval before entering mobile equipment
operating zones2.
8 Never enter Danger Zones without approval3.
9 Always report injuries, incidents and near misses.
Note 1: Critical safety equipment are items that are designed to prevent life threatening injuries and are
referred to within the Fatal Hazard Protocols or defined by the Warehouse / Facility as critical, e.g.
seat belts, fall restraint or arrest equipment, including Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), etc.
Note 2: Operating zones must be defined for each equipment type by the Warehouse / Facility.
Note 3: Danger Zones include: under suspended loads, within barricaded or signposted no-go areas, or
within identified pinch or crush points of machinery, confined spaces, and other zones defined by
the Warehouse / Facility based on legislation, industry norms and risk assessments.

FATAL HAZARD PROTOCOLS
I INTRODUCTION
A review of our fatalities, High Potential Risk

Incidents (HPRIs) and serious incidents identified
the need for an intervention program to eliminate
fatalities and improve our health and safety
performance. This program is called SafeAccess and
one of its main initiatives is to ‘focus on Fatal Hazards.’
As a result of these reviews, a number of Fatal Hazard Protocols (FHPs) have been
developed that establish minimum requirements for the management of these hazards
consistently across our business.
These Protocols have not been developed to replace or override local health and safety
legislation, or associated legislation and other external requirements. The content and
intent of these Protocols is to provide minimum requirements.
During the customisation of the Protocols for Access World, consideration was given
to the catastrophic and major hazards that were identified in various risk assessments,
HPRIs, Industry Safety Alerts, as well as other relevant information including good
industry practice.
Health and Safety legislation that currently exists across the relevant jurisdictions will
be considered during the implementation, adoption and rollout to ensure compliance
to these are captured as controls in the various risk assessments.
