Intent
SHE hazards are identified and associated risks assessed and managed. Planned and unplanned changes are
identified and managed.

Performance Requirements
3.1 SHE risk management processes are applied to all activities that Group Five controls or can influence.

3.2 SHE risks and opportunities are assessed, prioritised and managed as appropriate to the nature, scale and

y
SHE impacts of the operations and activities. This process takes into account health and safety, human rights,
the surrounding physical, ecological, social and cultural environment, biodiversity, applicable legal and other
op
requirements and financial implications. Low probability, high consequence events are specifically identified
and assessed. The hierarchy of control is used in the development of risk mitigation activities.

3.3 The SHE risk assessment and management process involves people with relevant knowledge and experience,
including employees, contractors and other stakeholders as appropriate.

3.4 SHE risks are recorded and maintained in a risk register. The risks are reviewed and updated at least
annually, and following a significant incident, learning’s and changes, or more often if the nature of the risk
requires.

3.5 SHE risks are evaluated by the appropriate level of management, consistent with the significance of the risk.
U

Risk management decisions are documented and the implementation of resulting actions tracked.

3.6 Where Group Five retains an SHE risk, liability or obligation following closure or investment, management
plans are documented, responsibilities assigned and actions tracked.

3.7 Change management systems are in place to manage SHE risks associated with planned changes, or when
unplanned changes occur, whether permanent, temporary or as the result of incremental change. These
systems address change events including changes in personnel, organisations, activities, processes, facilities,
physical environment, equipment, technology, procedures, laws, regulations, standards, materials, products,
systems and services.

3.8 Change management systems ensure that authorised employees or contractors approve changes, either
permanently or for a defined period, once the level of SHE risk has been demonstrated to be acceptable. The
duration of a temporary change is not exceeded without review and approval.

3.9 Change management systems ensure that changes are communicated to and understood by all those who
may be affected, including external stakeholders.

3.10 Change management systems ensure that change management actions have been completed, their intended
outcomes validated and any unintended or additional risks are identified and managed. Documentation is
updated to appropriately reflect the change, including the preparation of ‘as built’ plans, procedures and
organisational requirements.
