Whitehaven’s Narrabri Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) hit an outstanding achievement in January with the team recording more than 5000 days without a Lost Time Injury (LTI), equivalent to more than 13.5 years.

Reflecting on the milestone, Surface Operations Manager Ashley Howland said it shows the unwavering commitment to safety and care exhibited by every member of the team.

“Since we processed the first coal on 5th July 2010, our team has operated without a single lost time injury.

“This remarkable achievement is a testament to the proactive safety culture we’ve worked so hard to build. Beyond the numbers, it’s also a reflection of how we look out for each other, ensuring safety is always our top priority – both at work and at home.

“This success is the result of everyone’s diligence, vigilance, and dedication. Whether it’s the crews operating on the front lines, maintaining equipment, or supporting operations, our commitment to safety ensures that we continue to thrive without incident.”

To celebrate this milestone, Whitehaven presented eskies to each member of the team.

“These eskies represent more than just a token of appreciation, they’re a reminder of our ongoing commitment to safety. It’s a way for the team to take that message home with them as they enjoy time with family and friends over summer,” said Ashley.

“While this milestone is a remarkable accomplishment, we know there is always more to do when it comes to safety, and we must continue to work hard to look out for each other.”
