shall be responsible for assessing the impact of the incident and, if appropriate, reporting
the incident to <Client>.
Environmental Incident Reporting is further detailed in the safety emergency response plan.
Incident Reports and Complaints Register
An up-to-date logbook of complaints and incidents is maintained for the project.
The AMS Environmental Incident Report Form and reporting process will be used for
environmental incident reporting. The process and procedure (EMS-PR-06) for
Environmental Incident Reporting can be found in the Procedures Manual.
Page 12 of 16

4.4
Monthly Reporting
The monthly report consolidates our key performance indicators for the project sites and
documents key areas of our environmental program (ie. training / induction, environmental
incidents, environmental auditing, waste management) which AMS report as part of annual
public annual environmental report. The report allows consistency in site based reporting
and the data generated from the exercise assists many of AMSs clients with preparation of
their annual environmental reports.
The process and procedure (EMS-PR-05) for Site Based Reporting can be found in the
Procedures Manual.
4.5
Audits
Environmental Audits are conducted to ensure that activities are undertaken in a manner
consistent with the project planning, contract and legislative requirements and are
conducted in accordance with process EMS-PR-24.
Three levels of environmental auditing are to be utilised. They are:
Daily inspections by area supervisor.
Environmental internal inspection by Project Manager (AMS) or nominee.
Annual external audit by Environmental Management Officer (AMS) or as otherwise
required.
Daily Inspections
It is the responsibility of all AMS employees and subcontractors to ensure that their work
areas are tidy and that activities are undertaken in a manner consistent with the contract
and legislative requirements.
Informal environmental inspection checks of their work area will be undertaken daily by
employees and area supervisors. The following observations are entered onto the
supervisors and/or engineers daily shift report / diary.
Environmental Incidents
Dust and water usage for dust suppression
Waste and litter controls
Site drainage and erosion controls
For items requiring attention, the appropriate Environmental processes shall be applied.
The Environmental Incident Report process report will be followed for any environmental
incident and a copy of this report will be maintained on the Environmental Incident Register.
Internal Environmental Inspections
Site management (AMS) will, at nominated intervals, conduct a formalised internal
environmental compliance inspection. Non-compliances will be recorded on the CIAP
register and will remain an active item until resolved.
Environmental Inspections are incorporated in to the sites Active Safe Planned Inspections.
The inspections are denoted by a leaf symbol. The frequency of inspections are identified
below.

Environmental Training
Training for environmental management occurs for all African Mining Services Employees.
The degree of training is dependent upon the role that will be fulfilled to match the
responsibility level associated with a position. The education of African Mining Services
staff occurs through three primary mediums.
General African Mining Services organised training
Project level and project specific organised training
Informal peer training and mentoring
The primary site based mechanisms are outlined below and consist of site inductions and
training and awareness sessions.
6.1
Site Induction
All African Mining Services employees and subcontractors are required to attend a site
induction prior to commencing duties at the Project. Environmental Management is
included as part of the induction process. General Issues covered in the environmental
component of the induction are:
AMS Environmental Policy Statement
AMS Business Systems Plan
AMS Project EMP
AMS and individual responsibilities
General Site Issues
Reporting Procedures - incidents
The induction process is undertaken by the Project Manager (AMS) or a nominee and new
employees / contractors are required to acknowledge their attendance at the induction and
acceptance of their environmental responsibilities by way of signing a register of
attendance. Duties cannot commence until this process is executed.
6.2
Training and Awareness Sessions
In addition to the general site induction, further environmental training may be required for
specific tasks carried out by the workforce.
The training / awareness will be a combination of formal group sessions and informal small
group - sessions (ie. toolbox meetings).

Non-essential excavations that may lead to the oxidation of acid sulphate soils will
be avoided in areas of Potential Acid Sulphate Soils (PASS) and AASS.
Neutralisation of soil immediate application of lime. This method will only be
considered where when there is a low pyrite content, the material has a high
natural buffering capacity and only a limited period of acid generation is predicted.
Disposal of PASS / ASS back into an anaerobic environment below the water table
within 24 hours of excavation. Involves the over-excavation of an area to allow for
disposal in a constructed impoundment. This method will only be considered
where other alternatives are impracticable.
