The primary goal of workers and management at Kimbriki Environmental Enterprises Pty Ltd (KEE) is to:

• Eliminate injury and occupational illness from the workplace
• Prevent pollution to the environment
• Deliver a high quality and cost-effective service to our customers
• Comply with all applicable workplace health and safety and environmental legal requirements

KEE will make genuine and consistent efforts to meet these goals by adhering to the following principles:

Risk Management Approach

The Kimbriki Integrated Management System (IMS) adopts a risk management approach to safety, care of the environment and the delivery of quality services.

KEE will engage all stakeholders in the identification and management of health and safety and
environmental risks.

Safety, Environmental and Quality business risks shall be managed using the Hierarchy of Control that is focused on the elimination of risk and meeting or exceeding all regulatory requirements.

Responsibility

Kimbriki Management is committed to having a fully inducted and trained workforce that is competent to perform tasks required by the IMS.

Managers and supervisors are accountable for creating systems and conditions that ensure operations are sustainable and ensure a safe workplace for workers, contractors, customers, visitors and the wider community.

All employees and subcontractors will be held responsible for anticipating the foreseeable risks associated with any work undertaken and working in a manner that will not cause harm to themselves, their co-workers, others or the environment.

Continuous Improvement

KEE is committed to improving the effectiveness of the IMS by reviewing and auditing the IMS, establishing and monitoring key objectives and targets and by monitoring worker behaviour, providing adequate supervision and fostering a commitment to continuous learning.

Reducing greenhouse gases and odour

A gas flare is the final stage of the landfill gas collection system that was installed in late 2013. The system vacuums landfill gas from a network of pipes that has been installed in the landfilled waste. The collected gas is then burned at a high temperature of approximately 800 degrees C. Kimbriki extracts approx. 490cu m of landfill gas per hour. Landfill gas typically contains methane (45-60%), carbon dioxide (40-60%), nitrogen (2-5%) and other components such as oxygen, sulphur compounds, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide, which comprise less than 1%. The global warming potential of methane is 21-28 times that of carbon dioxide, so it is better to burn Methane to convert it back into Carbon Dioxide and water, rather than releasing into the atmosphere. Trials with horizontal gas collection pipes laid in trenches have shown that gas can be collected from quite newly buried waste in landfill, with good results.
