Nickel Rim South Mine is Honoured with the John T. Ryan Regional Safety Award
Announced on June 11, the 2018 John T. Ryan Regional Safety Award went to Nickel Rim South Mine, part of our Sudbury Integrated Nickel Operations (INO), in the Metal Mine category. A prestigious award known throughout the Canadian mining industry, the John T. Ryan Regional Safety Award is given to the mine that has the lowest reportable injury frequency in Canada.
A safety milestone
This is the third time that Nickel Rim South Mine has received this noteworthy award, its prior two in 2013 and 2014. The Nickel Rim South team has demonstrated its ability to work collaboratively and diligently towards the establishment and maintenance of a true safety-first work culture. The following statistics only further prove that initiative:
