Emergency preparedness and risk mitigation

Asset-Specific Emergency Plans

Every Gold Fields asset maintains the following key documents, tailored to local risk profiles:

• Trigger Action Response Plans (TARPs): Define real-time thresholds and pre-agreed responses for embankment stability, seepage, and other critical indicators
• Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans (EPRPs): Outline procedures for communication, evacuation, and coordination with emergency services
• Post-Incident Recovery Plans and Procedures: Guide recovery, investigation, and remediation following an event

Preparedness in Action

Each plan is informed by rigorous dam breach analyses and includes:

• Inundation mapping based on credible failure scenarios
• Thresholds and early warning systems for TSF performance monitoring
• Regular simulation drills and training for asset teams and emergency responders
• Community alerting protocols and coordination with local agencies

We are committed to ensuring our teams and nearby communities are informed, prepared, and protected.
