It’s a huge achievement and proof of everyone's commitment to safety.    Here are some key stats we’re proud of: • 382,044 manhours LTI free • 53,668 Take Controls • 3,138 Hazards identified • 1 in 3 employees has been on the project for over two years.   These contributions keep us all safe, and we couldn’t have achieved this without the strong teamwork, and safety-first mindset that defines the KCU team. #SafetyFirst #Teamwork #KCU #LTIFree #SafetyCulture

We're a little late in sharing these photos as July was a big month for the KCU team, but here are a few images of our NAIDOC Week celebrations at Christmas Creek and Cloudbreak.   This year's theme honours the enduring strength of First Nations culture – with fire as a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.   The celebrations were a great success, providing an opportunity to show respect and appreciation for Indigenous culture. Over two nights, KCU family members Hayati, Garry, and Suryani Jaffrey (not to mention many volunteers) catered to the crews by preparing traditional dishes such as turtle, kangaroo, and dugong. The people on-site enjoyed the cultural experience and learning about Indigenous traditional foods. Adding to the festive atmosphere, the talented band "Puertside" played music for everyone to enjoy.   In addition to NAIDOC Week, we also attended the Pilbara Indigenous Business Network Group Tradeshow in Karratha. This event is designed to showcase Indigenous businesses and their service offerings with local businesses, industry, and local Government. The environment celebrated these Indigenous businesses and opened up networking opportunities for like-minded business owners to connect.   #NAIDOCWeek #IndigenousCulture #Community #KCU #Respect #Diversity #Pilbara

Abdifatah Mahmoud, one of our Polywelders from the KCU team, was recently honoured at the Fortescue head office with the prestigious Northern Spirits Award in the 'Looking out for our mates and ourselves' category.   Abdi was nominated by his KCU teammates, Karl and Denis, for a recent act of selflessness. When he learned that Tommy Bacon, the young son of a Fortescue family member, urgently needed a bone marrow donor due to leukemia, Abdi got tested and was identified as a match. He is now stepping up to donate his bone marrow to help Tommy.   This award is a testament to Abdi's character and the strong values he embodies. We are immensely proud and honoured to have someone like Abdi on our team, reminding us that we are united as one family no matter the logos on our chests.   Thank you, Abdi, for making a significant difference in the lives of others. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! #KCU #Teamwork #Recognition #EmployeeSpotlight #MakingADifference #NorthernSpiritsAward #CommunityValues #RIPPA
