Awards and distinctions - Integrated Report of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group for 2022

Best practice

In 2022, once again the Central Institute for Labour Protection – the National Research Institute awarded KGHM with the Card of the Safe Work Leader. KGHM is the only representative of underground mining and metal processing sector to receive this award.

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. has been a member of the Safe Work Leaders Forum since 2000.

Our ambition is to achieve the long-term goal of ‘zero accidents’ for personal or technical causes and occupational diseases. This is a big challenge for us, but we believe that even in the mining industry this objective is achievable. Very few industries take the issue of safety as seriously as ours. We apply numerous technical measures to ensure that the rock mass tremors that occur in our mines are provoked in areas and at times when no crews are working. We attach a great deal of significance to this, as we cannot fully control natural hazards, but many accidents can be avoided with the right attitude, caution and appropriate clothing and personal protective equipment.
