At Orica, SH&E and sustainability is embedded in our organisational culture. Our performance-based culture program is called "Deliver the Promise" and is driven by personal accountability for delivering results.

We are committed to valuing people and the environment, and in particular, achieving our goal of no injuries to anyone, ever. 

Our SH&E Policy states that we will:

• Strive to ensure our facilities operate to the highest standards to protect our employees, contractors, neighbours and the environment;
• Sell only those products that can be produced, transported, stored, used and disposed of safely;
• Provide appropriate information and/or training on the safe use and disposal of our products to our customers and consumers; and
• Encourage employee initiatives that contribute to a safer and improved environment at work, at home and in the community.

Our commitment to safety and health is an integral part of our sustainability strategy. Key elements include:

• Line management responsibility and employee accountability for safety and health performance;
• Effective implementation of our SH&E Management System and Basis of Safety Program;
• Setting and achieving safety and health key performance indicators;
• Effective reporting and follow up on safety and health incidents; and
• Recognition of efforts to improve our safety and health performance.

Our SH&E Model Procedures aim to provide guidance to the management requirements of hazardous processes. Given the critical nature of safety risks in our businesses, Expert Panels have been established to detail the Basis of Safety on which the processes should be designed and operated.
