System and processes

Oyu Tolgoi seeks to adopt best practice safety management systems to deliver world class safety performance.

Our standards are aligned with broader Rio Tinto safety standards. They provide a framework to measure, monitor and continuously drive improvement in our safety performance. We introduced performance standards in the following areas to help manage our key operational risks:

  • Isolation
  • Electrical safety
  • Vehicles and driving
  • Working at heights
  • Confined spaces
  • Cranes and rigging
  • Underground safety standards
  • Management of pit slopes, stockpiles, spoil and waste dumps
