Health Fines
Regrettably, we did not meet our goal this year of zero health fines or prosecutions. The table below outlines the health fines for this period. Note: Fines reported may relate to incidents that occurred in previous years.
| Site | Customer Sector Group | Description | Fine (US$) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Escondida | Base Metals | Fine for two food items that had passed their expiry date | 23,530 |
| Cerro Colorado | Base Metals | Levels of arsenic and mercury in the potable water supply were not correctly monitored in the calendar year 2004. This lapse has not reoccurred and the lack of monitoring in 2004 had no impact on the health of the workforce. | 343 |
| Total | 23,873 |
