Client: BHP MINING

Dear Jim,
I would like to express my congratulations for the recent achievement of your company in completing the Goonyella Riverside Mine CPP1 1998 Yearly painting contract injury free.

As we discussed at our close-out meeting, the discipline of blasting and painting is recognized as having normally high injury rates due to the nature of the work, but although the work was carried out over a 10 week period we achieved over 8000 man hours of work, with zero minor injuries or LTI’s. I believe this to be not luck, but a direct result of the attention that you paid to your pre-contract preparation and your daily monitoring once the work had commenced.

As most of the work was achieved in difficult circumstances, under normal operating conditions, with the plant running, the finished quality of the work and Quality Assurance documentation supplied was very good.
Thanks for your efforts and I hope that we can work together again.

Graham Davies – Senior Maint. Planner CPP1 (Goonyella Riverside Mine).

Client: ABBOT POINT BULKCOAL

To Whom It May Concern,

I have had dealings with Diamond Protective Coatings since 1993 on a professional level. During this time DIAMOND have successfully tendered on five (5) major protective coating contracts at Abbot Point Bulkcoal.

In regards to safety, Diamond have consistently endeavored to maintain their high standard on site. No lost time injuries have been recorded for Diamond during any of their five major contracts.

Quality of workmanship has been of a high standard resulting in minimum re-work.

Diamond are familiarized with operating in conjunction with coal handling activities. Good contractor liaison with Abbot Point personnel ensures both parties achieve continuity of work.

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

Colin Edgerton – Operations Superintendent.
