Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) policy

January 2011

Excellence in Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) management is one of the foundations of Rössing's vision to be a safe, long-term supplier of U₃O₈ to the nuclear power industry around the world. This is in line with our commitment to Zero Harm, corporate citizenship, social responsibility and sustainability.

To accomplish this, Rössing will:

• Recognise that nothing is more important than the protection of the health and safety of our stakeholders, specifically, our employees, contractors, host communities, clients and shareholders.
• Commit to operate our business with respect and care for both the local and global environment in order to prevent and mitigate residual pollution.
• Understand and manage the effects of our product through its entire life cycle to deliver continuous improvements in a sustainable manner.
• Be in full compliance with all applicable legal, standards and requirements.
• Seek continual and rapid improvement in HSE performance to create a Zero Harm environment that is in line with leading practices.
• Provide adequate HSE training and resources to employees, contractors and visitors.
• Identify and assess hazards arising from our activities and manage associated risks to the lowest practical level.
• Enhance biodiversity protection by assessing and considering ecological values and land use aspects in investment, operational and closure activities.
• Continue in our efforts to raise the awareness of HSE issues to our host communities.
• Regularly review our performance and publicly report our progress.
• Communicate our commitment to this HSE policy to all our stakeholders and ensure that this policy is readily available to all our stakeholders.
• In implementing this policy we will engage in constructive dialogue with our employees, contractors, host communities and all other stakeholders in sharing relevant information and responsibilities for meeting our requirements.

This policy is complemented by the HSE strategy, which is also readily available to all our stakeholders.
