Loss-of-life incident at Harmony's Doornkop mine
Johannesburg, Friday, 3, May 2024. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited ('Harmony')
regrets to announce that one of its employees employed as a Rock Drill Operator
tragically lost his life, following a fall of ground incident at its Doornkop
mine, in Soweto, Gauteng Province, on Thursday, 2 May 2024.
The cause of the accident is currently under investigation, both internally and
by the regulator.
'We are deeply saddened by this loss of one of our colleagues. At Harmony, safety
is our foremost priority. A safe mine is a productive one – never the other way
around. These tragedies serve as a harsh reminder that we can never be complacent
and much more still needs to be done to achieve our goal of zero loss-of life. We
continue focusing on embedding risk management practices throughout Harmony to
help eliminate accidents in the work place. We send our heartfelt condolences to
the families of the deceased.' said Peter Steenkamp, chief executive officer of
Harmony.
Harmony will be holding a company-wide Safety Day next week as a reminder of the
critical importance that good safety practices play in safeguarding our future.
Family members, colleagues, and the relevant authorities have been informed and
the affected area has since been temporarily closed.
The safety of our employees remains our priority and we endeavour to ensure that
all safety protocols are adhered to at all times.
