Health Safety Environment

Overview and Policies

CSR's Health, Safety and Environmental (HS&E) management system promotes the ongoing development of a positive health, safety and environmental culture through development of policies and procedures, and promotion of them on the company's intranet and via training and monitoring. These practices are intended to encourage ownership of HS&E matters by all CSR employees as an integral part of our day-to-day operations.

Key aspects of the HS&E policies include:

Health and Safety Policy
