“…Overall, safety climate is an important workplace metric, but one that has mostly been evaluated to examine associations with safety behaviors, injury rates, and other safety-related outcomes rather than business performance or organizational outcomes, including job satisfaction and turnover intention [14].

When mining activities degrade the natural resources or environment, the social licence to operate or the legitimacy of the company is threatened, and the company's image (and that of the entire mining industry) is tarnished, which may adversely affect the company's operations and its ability to continue as a going concern (Gomes et al, 2013;Giurco and Cooper, 2012;Kemp et al, 2010).
