Safety, Health & Environment

Aurora is committed to the best safety, health, environmental, and social practices. We support resource development that protects the health and safety of our workers, nearby communities, and the environment, as well as benefits community members.

We have developed health and safety guidelines for working with uranium to avoid potential negative effects on human health and the environment. All our employees are trained in and expected to comply with the policies and practices we have in place. Contractors are required to meet legislative requirements and to abide by the safe work procedures and policies outlined in their own health and safety programs. In the event that Aurora's policies are seen as superior to those of the contractor, the higher standard will be followed.

Aurora is committed to refining and adding to these internal standards as the Michelin Project transitions from exploration to mine development. Close study of existing uranium mining operations around the world, reviews of scientific and safety management information and engagement in the regulatory process will be essential in helping us identify best practices for our eventual construction and operations. This complements our existing approach to community consultation, which we have used for many years.  This two-way dialogue with residents in our project area is designed to keep them informed of our activities and to keep a record of their feedback, knowledge, and interests so we can include this information in the project design.
