02 SAFETY, SOCIAL AND ETHICS PROMOTING WORKPLACE SAFETY Our approach to safety Sasol strives for world class safety performance, having recognised the impact our activities may have on the health and safety of people. Our aspirational culture and refreshed values says: “I am my team, and my team is Sasol. I care for people”. We are committed to ensuring a safe, healthy, engaged and productive workforce, with the required skills, knowledge and experience to succeed. Our safety approach is built on a strong foundation of visible felt leadership and competency, and is strengthened by clear policies and procedures.

Remember if you can’t do it safely, don’t do it!” Affirmation of aspirational culture by Bongani Ngwababa at the Joint CEO engagement, held in March 2018 at Sasol Place We ensure that Safety is a top priority. We care for our people and support their development. We are determined to reach our ultimate goal of zero harm and believe that our aspirational culture significantly contributes to this journey. To reach this goal, we remain focused on further strengthening our key Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) capabilities. These include ongoing management of SHE risks with a preventative mindset and accelerating the rate at which we internalise learnings, in particular from actual and potential high severity incidents. To further improve our SHE risk results we have standardised and optimised our SHE risk management processes. Our emphasis is on identifying and understanding the SHE risks facing our organisation; managing and monitoring these risks; defining and applying effective governance and assurance processes and, ultimately, analysing and improving our SHE performance. We apply a combined assurance approach where, by means of line management oversight on control effectiveness, assurance is obtained that controls are operating effectively. This includes field verification of critical controls and verification conducted by internal as well as independent external assurance providers. We are deeply saddened to report that we had four work‑related fatalities and six high severity injuries this year. An incident, which resulted in the tragic death of an employee, was investigated as a fatality and the harm was determined to have been self-inflicted. The main learnings from this investigation were, however, taken on board and implemented with the learnings of the other tragic fatalities and high severity injuries. Our thoughts remain with the families of the employees who tragically lost their lives in work-related incidents at Sasol this year: • Nelson Vilanculo (Exploration and Production International) was fataly injured when struck by a vehicle at our Mozambique Operations on 25 August 2017; • Dumisani Sibanyoni (Sasol Mining) was fatally injured when he was struck by a trailer on 6 December 2017; • Mandla Mahlangu (Sasol Mining) passed away following a trackless mobile machinery incident underground on 24 January 2018; and • Nefthali Sepeame (Sasol Mining) sustained fatal injuries whilst he was operating underground mining equipment on 9 February 2018.
