SAFE AND ENDURING OPERATIONS // Occupational safety and HSI programme
OUR COMMITMENT //
Sasol commits to the following:
• Humanising Safety initiatives that focus on showing care
through every layer of influence across the organisation.
• Eliminating fatalities by embedding our High Severity Incident
(HSI) Programme.
OUR GROUP
APPROACH
The safety of our people is not just a material matter for Sasol but also
one of our Group top priorities. We continuously strive for Zero Harm
and our approach centres on:
Understanding our risk landscape and managing our activities in a way that eliminates incidents,
minimises risk and promotes excellence in the performance of our operations; and
Leveraging our risk-based approach to managing our Top SHE Risks (Key Undesirable Events),
while strengthening our combined SHE assurance processes.

The Group targets remained the same apart from a downward adjustment of the LWDCR. There was one fatality in our
Mining business and another fatality at the Polypropylene Bagging Warehouse both in Secunda. The Recordable Case
Rate in FY23 is on par with FY22, while the LWDCR is marginally higher. The HSI-SR showed a marked improvement from
FY22 actual and was well below the target. The improved HSI-SR is attributable to the continued focus on the HSI
programme, which aims at fundamentally preventing high-severity incidents.
