29 ANNUAL REPORT 2025 SAFETY PEOPLE HEALTH AND SAFETY In FY25, we continued to embed Westgold’s first core value: Choose Safety, across all operations through the full implementation of our Safety Management System (SMS) – aligned with ISO 31000 and the Workplace Health and Safety Act (2020). This system has strengthened hazard management and operational discipline, contributing to a 17% reduction in Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIFR) and a 37% reduction in Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR), with zero fatalities recorded across the Group. While this result is encouraging, we are not complacent, and remain committed to further improving our safety programmes and performance. The rollout of the Critical Risk Program empowers our people to proactively identify and manage life-threatening hazards; while strong participation in safety committees and toolbox talks continues to reinforce a culture of shared responsibility for safety – our own, and the safety of everyone around us. In FY25, Westgold transitioned its training operations to the new Maddington Training Centre – a purpose-built facility designed to enhance learning, operational readiness, and onboarding through expanded classrooms, high-risk licensing areas, and an industryunique Underground Training Simulator. The centre also supports community engagement through school visits and outreach, while building a confident, capable workforce to drive the sustainable growth of Westgold’s operations. 0.62 1.00 0.98 0.78 0.39 6.85 7.37 6.85 6.27 5.67 0 5 10 15 20 0 3 6 9 12 Total Recordable Injury count 12 Month rolling Injury Frequency Rate (injuries/million hours worked) Q4FY24 Q1FY25 Q2FY25 Q3FY25 Q4FY25 -17% Recordable Injuries* 12 Month LTIFR 12 Month TRIFR
