Each of us is responsible for working safely, sticking to our standards and caring for the health and safety of those around us.
We are all responsible for making sure we are fit for work every day. This means not being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, being well rested, and being physically and mentally fit to perform our jobs at Rio Tinto.
We expect others we work with, including consultants, agents, contractors and suppliers, to respect and stick to our health and safety requirements.
We have a responsibility to stop and report the work of colleagues if we think they are putting their health and safety – or that of others – at risk.
