GEMCO

The vegetation is mostly tropical savannah woodland (stringy-bark eucalypts and Darwin woolly-butt), with patches of monsoon vine forest, areas of pandanus and paperbark wetland and stands of cypress pine. Casuarina and banyan trees give shade along the sandy beaches. Animal life is prolific, both on land and in the sea.

Health

HealthGEMCO places the highest value on being a responsible and caring employer. We are committed to providing a workplace where employees can work free of injury and illness. At GEMCO, health and well-being is a shared responsibility.

GEMCO is committed to understanding and mitigating health & safety risks. Exposure to noise, dust, hazardous materials and vibration are common risks associated with work on mine sites. Due to our unique tropical location, employees also need to protect themselves against sunburn, dehydration & other heat-related illnesses, and be aware of risks related to local creatures and conditions.

Programs designed to support the health and well-being of our people include:

  • Fitness for Work
  • Drug & Alcohol
  • Fatigue Management
  • Hygiene Monitoring
  • Occupational Injury Management
  • Health & Well-Being Program
  • Pre-placement, periodic and exit medical programs
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
