Human health, safety, and security are among Oyu Tolgoi’s foremost priorities, and a core competency of the project, as evidenced by the project’s comprehensive internal health and safety policies and procedures, and the ongoing work of the OT Health, Safety, Environment, and Security (HSES) department. OT recognizes that it has a vested interest in ensuring optimal health, safety, and security not only among its employees and contractors, but in its neighboring communities as well. Therefore, OT is endeavoring to design and implement a Community Health, Safety & Security Program (CHSSP) that aims to 1) minimize and mitigate, health, safety, and security (HSS) impacts directly and indirectly stimulated by OT operations, and 2) measurably improve HSS service delivery, capacity, and indicators in the target area, and 3) complement and build upon existing OT HSES policies, standards, knowledge and best practices pertaining to employees and contractors, and extend such standards to local stakeholders where appropriate and feasible.

The Program should be compatible with existing policies of OT’s Health, Safety, Environment, and Security (HSES) department, and should carefully consider environmental issues and impacts as they affect, and are affected by, human health and safety. Te resultant CHSSP should function to deepen the alignment of project activities and strategies in the areas of HSS and environment. The CHSSP will be developed using participatory methods, relying on engagement with and input from stakeholders throughout planning, implementation, and evaluation phases. The geographic scope to be covered under the CHSSP shall be primarily the direct and indirect impact areas of the OT project.
