Rio Tinto Energy America’s
Safety Standards

Everyone's behavior contributes to an injury free workplace. Full and consistent accountability and implementation of Rio Tinto's comprehensive standards, guidelines, systems and procedures is required across all sites. Through Rio Tinto, Rio Tinto Energy America (RTEA) is building a supportive safety culture that requires visible leadership, ongoing education and training, and a high level of participation by everyone in the workplace.

RTEA places an emphasis on hazard identification, risk assessment and risk management. It measures assurance through operational, corporate and external auditing and reporting processes.

RTEA’s goal is zero injuries. In order to achieve this safety goal, RTEA focuses on leadership, individual accountability, setting appropriate targets, interaction in the workplace, implementing minimum safety standards, and auditing performance against those standards.
