Regrettably, one tragic fatality occurred in August FY25 at
the Sulphur East plant in Secunda. The incident occurred
when a service provider employee fell from height as the
scaffolding team were erecting a scaffold platform inside
a vessel. The incident was investigated in line with our
high severity incident protocol.
HSI Programme
Each high-severity incident (HSI), fatality or potential
HSI is investigated thoroughly to understand the direct
and root causes. HSI investigations are facilitated by
independent chairpersons to understand the organisation,
workplace and individual factors that contribute to
incidents. Corrective actions are implemented, tracked
and verified through assurance processes, ranging from
climate and culture programmes, engineering solutions
and behaviour-based corrections.
A HSI standard with enabling practices was developed to
support the various operating entities in HSI prevention.
The HSI programme is supported through the formation of
a HSI Steering committee chaired by the Executive Vice
President Operations and Projects with nominated HSI
champions from operational areas.
A leadership assurance framework has been developed
to support the Sasol high-severity prevention management
programme. This provides a structured approach to risk
management by defining roles, responsibilities, safety
assurance questions and behavioural prompts to
prevent HSIs.
Internal best practices have been identified and Business
Units (BUs) are in the early stages of implementation
leading up to FY26. Over the next three years additional
best practices will be integrated into the BU safety practices.
Leadership assurance processes, relentless focus on
critical control effectiveness and behavioural aspects
resulted in the RCR remaining constant at 0,25 and in
line with the target of 0,25.
Our Lost Workday Case Rate* for FY25 was 0,13;
slightly above our target of 0,11. The implementation
of our HSI prevention programme and the strengthening
of the hierarchy of controls for high-risk activities have
contributed to mitigating high potential incidents and
improving overall safety performance. During the year,
two Category 2 LWDCs were recorded.
The number of hospitalisations increased from 59
to 65, but the overall injury severity profile improved,
supported by the safety improvement initiatives
implemented throughout the year. No life-altering
(Category 3) injuries were recorded.
We are addressing underlying causes to reduce both
frequency and severity through focused intervention.
FY26 Focus
Sasol is committed to Safe, Efficient, and
Reliable Operations, with a strong focus on our
Zero Harm philosophy – ensuring that all
employees and service providers return home
safely every day. This commitment is driven by
the implementation of rigorous safety measures
and leadership accountability across all
operations.

Training
The Human Resource Leadership Development Centre
is coordinating a group-wide Leadership Refresher
Training initiative aimed at Middle Management. The
Behaviour Transformation (BT) team has created
content for the Safety Leader modules: Accountable
Leadership, Humanising Safety and Managing risky
behaviours to elevate the Understanding and
Influencing Human Behaviour focus area as per the HSI
programme. FY25 Quarter 3, continued into FY26,
focuses on these modules being presented Group-wide
by various subject matter experts where the BT team is
coordinating efforts to facilitate the Safety Leader
modules per session across sites for assigned BUs and
functions.
Currently, Mining and Marketing and Sales Outbound
departments have undergone the training. The training
aims to enable leaders to revitalise Sasol’s culture and
set the tone from the top by ensuring demonstrated
values-driven leadership.
* A Category 1 LWDC is an injury where the injury sustained has a low probability of a fatal or life-altering outcome. A Category 2 LWDC is an injury where
the outcome of the injury is variable and influenced by other comorbid factors. A Category 3 LWDC is an injury where the injury sustained has a high
probability of a fatal or life-altering outcome.
