π Congratulations to the YMA Mine Maintenance Team, recipients of the May 2026 YMA Safety Award.
As part of the YMA Safety Initiatives Program, employees are recognised for practical ideas that strengthen safe work practices across the operation.
During routine conveyor maintenance, the team identified and implemented additional secondary safety measures for the take-up winch system, further enhancing existing controls and reducing risk. A great example of proactive safety, continuous improvement, and commitment to looking after one another.
As part of the award, the team nominated Foodbank Community Food Centre Morwell to receive the $500 Safety Award donation. The Centre plays a vital role in supporting the Gippsland community through food relief services, community programs, and the distribution of emergency food supplies to local charities and disaster relief agencies.
Well done to the YMA Mine Maintenance Team for demonstrating leadership in safety, practical problem solving, and a strong commitment to supporting the local community. π
