1. LEADERSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Leaders at all levels in the PotashCorp organization are responsible for leading and engaging the workforce in meeting our Safety, Health and Environmental goals and objectives. Leaders will be held accountable for accomplishing this by demonstrating correct SHE behaviors, by clearly defining SHE roles and responsibilities, by providing needed resources, by measuring, reviewing and continuously improving SHE performance, and by role modeling or exhibiting exemplary SHE leadership practices.

EXPECTATIONS

1.1 Leaders model positive SHE behaviors by personal example both on and off the job, and reinforce and recognize positive behaviors, while engaging in clear, two-way communication with employees, contractors and service providers on SHE issues. SHE lessons learned are shared inside and outside their facility.
1.2 SHE Management Systems are developed, documented, implemented and supported throughout the organization. These address the leadership practices that deliver robust systems for safety, health, environmental, technical integrity,security, product and operational risks measurement and reduction in accordance with the appropriate Expectations. The SHE Expectations are integrated into business planning and decision-making processes, ensuring that documented systems are in place to achieve them.
1.3 Leaders integrate into their business activities clear, agreed-upon SHE annual targets and objectives, roles and responsibilities, performance measures, competent resources and, where necessary, specialist expertise. These annual targets and objectives include, for example, external verifications, emissions reductions and reduction in injury rates.
1.4 Leaders’ SHE performance is assessed against their annual objectives, based on feedback from line management, peers and others.
1.5 Leaders assess the ability of others to competently perform their tasks in a safe, healthy and environmentally sound manner. Training needs are evaluated and competent training resources provided as necessary.
