Our commitment
The Company is fully committed to providing and maintaining a safe, secure and healthy work environment with the aim of zero harm from occupational injuries and illness in the workplace. Paladin fosters the safe behaviour of employees and contractors by establishing a mindset that all injuries are preventable. We continued to promote safety and responsibility to all our employees and contractors during the Restart Project, achieving more than 2,000,000 Lost Time Injury Free project hours.
Paladin’s employees and contractors are provided with growth opportunities, and the continued development of skills and expertise through structured and informal learning and training. The LHM also supports employee studies as an opportunity for career development.
Our commitment to the community and social investment is embedded in our Company Values. At Paladin we are committed to our local communities and are focused on having a positive impact and making meaningful contributions to their lives and livelihoods.
