As always, our primary focus remains on providing and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for the entire Fortescue family. Since the outbreak began in January 2020, we have carefully monitored its impact and swiftly introduced measures to meet guidelines introduced by Commonwealth and State Governments.
Our Incident Management Team is meeting regularly review our operations and the Government’s advice. As the social distancing guidelines have changed, we have responded to each additional measure quickly and are regularly communicating with our teams on all matters relating to the mining sector, as well as the importance of physical distancing and stringent hygiene.
Our focus on the health and safety of our workforce extends to their mental health and wellbeing. All Fortescue team members have access to the Fortescue Chaplains and Employee Assistance Program 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Since the outset, it has been Fortescue’s vision to ensure that the communities in which we operate benefit from our growth and development. We understand the ongoing impact of COVID-19 will be challenging for many in our community, especially small businesses, and we are implementing practical solutions to support them during and after this global health and economic crisis.
