Health and Safety

Working Safely in the Arctic

When Newmont acquired the Hope Bay project from Miramar Mining in 2008, we began assessing health and safety risks, and establishing stringent management and training programs to protect the welfare of our employees and contractors. As this effort evolves, we expect to see reductions in injury rates as we strengthen our approach, and communicate how to safely explore and work in the remote Arctic region.
