Presiding Members Report

It is my pleasure to report on the Mining and Quarrying Occupational Health & Safety Committee’s (MAQOHSC) performance by providing this Annual report for the financial period 2015/2016.

MAQOHSC is a tripartite Committee comprising of employer representation of major stakeholders in the State, peak industry bodies including the South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy, the Cement Concrete and Aggregates Australia, SA Unions and the South Australian Government.

MAQOHSC is unique in undertaking a key role in creating and supporting safety initiatives throughout the State. All initiatives align with the Committees strategic plan and include work health and safety research, education and training. However, a key focus remains, on the prevention of long latency occupational dust related respiratory lung diseases such as silicosis.

In 2015/2016 the Committee had a busy schedule with a total of nineteen projects being assessed during the financial period. The Committee awarded funding for fourteen projects which will, in the long-term, directly benefit industry productivity through well considered research, workplace health and safety, and well-being of workers.

All fourteen projects or programs will contribute to reducing workplace risk throughout the State and include for example;

• A research grant to review and report on the health outcome data for over 5400 South Australian workers that received fully funded workplace medical examinations during 2000 – 2012,

• commencement of a dedicated five-year Health Surveillance – Workplace Dust Monitoring program,

• development of Quarry Mental Health Resources,

• provide fully funded Training in Work Health and Safety (certificate IV) to forty workers throughout the State,

• industry resources such as updating the existing MAQOHSC Opal Miners Safety Manual to include supplementary safety resources such as a safety management system and easy to use template suite for South Australian opal miners to meet safety obligations.

The Committee continues to recognise the importance of workplace mental health and is actively involved in providing resources for industry or support activities that address this high risk to workers that is evident in every workplace. This commitment by the Committee extends to members participating in Mental Health First Aid Training with Mental Health First Aid Australia.

As both Committee members and staff have achieved certificate level qualification for Mental Health First Aid, additionally MAQOHSC is one of South Australia’s first Government supported entities to be awarded a Gold Mental Health Workplace Badge 2016/2017 by Mental Health First Aid Australia.

MAQOHSC’s commitment to improving South Australia’s workplace mental health extended through assisting the Parliamentary Committee on Occupational Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation’s South Australian review. MAQOHSC’s support included fully coordinated workplace site tours to the Kanmantoo Bluestone Quarry and Kanmantoo Hillgrove Mine. This provided members of the inquiry to view first hand, two diverse workplaces allowing the Parliamentary Committee members the opportunity to see the environmental working conditions of a mine and quarry and consult and engage directly with workers on this identified high risk workplace issue.

The Committee continues its support for

• Youth - Student Safety Training through its Diamond Sponsorship of the Passport to Safety Initiative providing key training for those entering the workforce.

• Continued sponsorship was also provided to ‘Mining Family Matters’ as they support and provide resources to Fly in Fly out workers and their families.

• The Cements Concretes and Aggregates Australia - South Australian Workplace Safety and Safety in Leadership Awards.

• The South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy - Mines Rescue Competition.

As Presiding Member, I take this opportunity to formally express gratitude and appreciation to all committee members, deputies and staff for their industry knowledge, contributions to our monthly meetings, due diligence, dedication to preventing injury, harm and death and for the ongoing commitment to improving workplace safety for all workers.

The Committees schedule remains strategically focused into the 2016/2017 period with continued development of resources and support to the States mining and quarrying sector through targeted safety initiatives.

Mr. Martin O’Malley

Presiding Member

The Committee, its History, Legislation and Functions

HISTORYMAQOHSC is uniquely South Australian. Our

Committee members continue with dedication

and commitment to worker health and safety

in South Australia’s mines and quarries, as was

instigated with the formation of the Silicosis

Scheme in 1938.

The Silicosis Committee diligently contributed

to the industry of South Australia and convened

monthly to review worker scheme registrations

and provide workers compensation payments to

workers. The first Silicosis Scheme documented

meeting was held on 2 October, 1939.

From our Silicosis Scheme and Silicosis Committee

foundations under the Workers Compensation

Amendment Act 1938, the mandated aim to

protect workers from occupational dust related

diseases, prevent harm, injury and death remains

steadfast.

The Silicosis Scheme was suspended in 1987

in that from that date, no new workers were

registered and no further levies were collected

from employers for registered workers. At the

formation of MAQOHSC in 1987 a total of 5366

South Australian workers were registered with

the Scheme.

LEGISLATIONThe Committee is a tripartite body that was

established under the Occupational Health, Safety

and Welfare Act 1986, (SA). MAQOHSC continues

existence under the Work Health and Safety Act

2012 (SA) (the WHS Act).

Return To Work SA administers the Mining and

Quarrying Industries Fund pursuant to Schedule 1

of the Return To Work Act 2014 (SA). The Mining

and Quarrying Industry fund was originally set

up in 1941 under the Workmen’s Compensation

(Silicosis) Scheme and was administered by the

Silicosis Committee. Interest on the investments

is now used to fund MAQOHSC’s initiatives that

minimise injury, disease and death, promoting

work, health and safety best practice in all South

Australia’s mining and quarrying workplaces.

The Committee is subject to the control and

direction of the Minister for Industrial Relations.

THE COMMITTEE’S FUNCTIONSThe Committee’s principal function is to oversee

expenditure of the Fund to minimise injury and

disease and promote work health and safety in the

mining and quarrying industries.

The WHS Act provides that the Committee may

utilise the Fund for the following purposes:

• to promote and support practices and

procedures designed to protect workers from

silicosis;

• to support education in the field of

occupational health and safety in the mining

and quarrying industries;

• to initiate or support research and studies

into occupational health and safety that could

benefit workers in the mining and quarrying

industries;

• to promote and support persons or

organisations working to prevent, alleviate, or

treat the kinds of disabilities suffered by

workers in the mining and quarrying

industries; and,

• to support any other kind of activity that

could directly or indirectly improve

occupational health and safety in the mining

and quarrying industries, or assist in the

rehabilitation of disabled workers in those

industries.

The WHS Act provides the Committee such

powers as are reasonably necessary to perform

its functions. This includes the power to establish

subcommittees and to engage, as may be

appropriate, experts or consultants to assist the

Committee in the performance of its functions.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW COMMITTEE FULLY FUNDED INITIATIVES FOR 2015 – 2016


Research Evaluation - Fully Funded Workplace Health Assessments 2000 - 2013

The Committee directs and

funds initiatives that directly

benefit workers health

throughout the State.

From 2000 - 2013 the

Committee fully funded health

assessments for 5,642 mine

and quarry workers

throughout South Australia.

The Committee recognises a

workers risk profile can impact

productivity and performance

in the workplace. Fortunately

many high risk factors can be

reduced through modifying

lifestyle behaviours. Chronic

disease rates are increasing

among Australian workers,

with real implications.

A dedicated health assessment

program provides participants

awareness of their individual

risk profile to motivate

behaviour change and lifestyle

modification, reducing the

potential risk of chronic disease.

Through monitoring the health

of mine and quarry workers the

Committee identified key risk

factors that provided the

opportunity to implement

beneficial changes, fund

initiatives and health programs

to assist in preventing further

deterioration of those risk

factors into chronic disease.

Mine and quarry workers were

provided health assessments in

the workplace, evaluating key

risk factors such as lung

function to monitor lung

deterioration from exposure

to respirable dust, and an

individual general health

assessment including body

mass index, smoking risk,

blood pressure, diabetes and

waist circumference as an on

flow from this is, cardiovascular

disease.

Rigorous data analysis of the

health outcome data to extract

the most useful and reliable

information has been

completed.

Year by year analysis trended

the health of the population

group studied, also a matched

comparison was undertaken to

determine change in a known

population group over time.

The Committee will continue

to analyse the outcome data.

Development of targeted

health assessment programs

and health improvement

projects are scheduled for

review during the 2016 - 2017

period. Progress will be

detailed in the 2016 - 2017

annual report.


In 2015 the Committee commenced the revised

Health Surveillance-Workplace Dust Monitoring

Program.

Greencap completed the 2015 - 2016 onsite

respirable dust monitoring with a dedicated focus

on understanding the current dust exposure levels

of mine and quarry workers.

Greencap is an integrated risk management and

compliance firm based in Adelaide at Wayville, and

has vast experience in hygiene monitoring on mine

and quarry sites.

The generation of dust particles are a common

occurrence associated with mining and quarrying

activities. Certain types of minerals when drilled,

extracted from the ground or processed, generate

dust particles which contain crystalline silica.

Exposure to crystalline silica can cause respiratory

illness and occupational dust related disease such

as silicosis. Silicosis generally has a long latency

period and can go undetected for many years and

is incurable.

Assessing the current exposure levels and dust

management strategies in place, will allow

the Committee to evaluate and gain a better

understanding of the current health risks and

challenges the industry faces and will identify

prevention strategies and or programs to prevent

respirable dust exposure to workers.

The dedicated five year program also includes

support to stakeholders on the implementation of

effective dust mitigation risk control measures to

reduce dust exposure within the workplace.

The dust monitoring program data includes

reporting of the collected site dust samples and

workers personal dust samples which are collected

within the breathing zones.

Value adding to the program stakeholders will also

be provided free workplace noise and workers

heart rate evaluations. A workplace audit will be

completed at each workplace to evaluate workers

respiratory protection and observing current dust

mitigation strategies, dust generation prevention

and all safety measures in place.

Twenty five mines and quarries registered to

participate in the funded program during the

2015 - 2016 period. A total of 185 workers

participated in personal dust monitoring.

The 2016 - 2017 program aims to undertake

workplace dust monitoring at a minimum of

50 operating mines and quarries and complete

a minimum of 500 workers personal monitoring.

The Committee will report on the program more

extensively during the 2016 - 2017 period.

Health Surveillance - Funded Dust Monitoring


Inquiry into Mental Health in the Workplace: Preventing Suicide

The Committee was pleased to have provided

a submission to the Parliamentary Committee

on Occupational Safety, Rehabilitation and

Compensation’s inquiry into Mental Health

in the Workplace: Preventing Suicide.

The Committees submission was for the resource

sector with a focus on mine and quarry workers

of South Australia. Previously the Committee

had funded suicide prevention resources for

industry that included the “Rock Solid Wellbeing

and Suicide Prevention Guide”. In addition to

the guide, a pilot suicide training program was

launched in South Australia to provide crucial

awareness and intervention strategy training for

mine and quarry owners, operators, managers

and supervisors.

The Committee’s funded pilot program provided

suicide awareness and intervention strategy

training to increase mine and quarry owners,

operators and supervisors with suicide prevention

knowledge, crisis management strategies and

training to promote emotional resilience for

workers.

The Committee was asked to assist the inquiry

further by undertaking field work primarily

workplace engagement and consultation.

MAQOHSC co-ordinated for the members of the

inquiry an opportunity to tour a mine and quarry,

viewing firsthand the working environments of

two very diverse mining operations and consult

with mine and quarry workers direct.

The Committee looks forward to providing more

information on this topic in the 2016/2017 annual

report.


Fully Funded Training For South Australian Workers

MAQOHSC Annual Report 2013–2014 9In the 2015 - 2016 period, the Committee

established a fully funded accredited safety

training program for mine and quarry workers.

Mine and quarry workers are provided the

opportunity to undertake certificate IV in Work

Health and Safety in a fully supported

environment.

The program will achieve the positive outcome of

both strengthening safety knowledge with the

workplace via formal qualifications, whilst

providing training opportunities to workers who

may otherwise not have access due to financial or

company resource constraints.

The program has been well received by industry,

enrolments have been received from all sectors

including exploration, drilling, mining and

quarrying operations and working groups,

however the Committee is pleased to advise the

uptake from small quarry operations within the

metropolitan, rural and remote has been

significant.

The Committee looks forward to reporting on the

success of the program next year and also building

on the success of the program during 2016 - 2017

period.


Work Health and Safety Industry Engagement

The Mining and Quarrying Occupational Health

and Safety Committee continue to maintain a long

record of safety achievements in the mine and

quarry industry.

Core safety initiatives focus on the prevention of

harm, safety, education and communication in

the workplace, resulting in positive outcomes with

work, health and safety issues recognised by all

stakeholders.

The MAQOHSC workplace engagement initiative

provides professional, valuable and practical work,

health and safety services in the field to all South

Australian mines and quarries at no cost to the

workplace.

Two Work Health and Safety Specialists (WHS

Specialist’s) are engaged by the Committee

to provide and support the prevention based

activities directly in the field.

MAQOHSC ensures professional quality safety

services are delivered directly into the workplace,

thus achieving continuous improvement of safety

standards throughout all South Australia’s mines

and quarries.

The MAQOHSC WHS Specialists have assisted

with;

• mine and quarry workplace safety inspections

and audits

• emergency response and evacuation

• safe operating procedures

• safety management systems, gap analysis

• mentoring on work, health and safety

responsibilities

• traffic management audits

• principle mining hazards.

Workplace delivered educational sessions on a

range of topics including;

• work health and safety responsibilities

• work health and safety for supervisors

• due diligence

• communicate information

• hazard identification and risk management

• job hazard analysis development

• isolation and lock out

• personal protective equipment

• traffic management

• principle mining hazards.

Additional workplace assistance and advice was

provided via email, telephone and the informative

MAQOHSC website.

The continued requests for MAQOHSC assistance

reflects our presence and reputation of MAQOHSC

within the States mining and quarrying industry.


Building on the success of the previous years

regional safety seminars, the Committee held

three regional and remote safety seminar’s for

the 2015 - 2016 period.

The seminar enables the Committee both

active engagement with it’s rural and remote

stakeholders, and a practicable opportunity to

increase departmental operational efficiency

where MAQOHSC, Government and industry

can collectively work in partnership to provide

key information and educational sessions on key

matters of high safety importance.

The main purpose of the regional and remote

seminars is to improve safety outcomes and also

support workers and businesses operating within

rural and remote areas.

Attendees are offered a series of targeted short

industry relevant presentations on safety matters

of high importance such as compliance to mine

legislation within South Australia and health and

welfare topics such as mental health and dust in

the workplace.

The full day program is provided free of charge

and to date significant benefit has been gained

by mine and quarry owners and or operators, mine

and quarry supervisors, exploration and drilling

companies, health and safety representatives

(HSR’s), work health and safety consultants,

contractors, human resource professionals and

workers within the mine, quarry and resource

sectors.

This prevention of harm safety initiative has

been well received by all stakeholders. Further

development is planned in 2017 will include a

two day program with the second day being for

interactive workshops.

The Committee is proud to continue sponsorship

of this industry beneficial service, and looks

forward to reporting on the projects beneficial

impact for workers in 2017.

Committee Sponsorship


The MAQOHSC Committee continues as a

Diamond Sponsor of the Passport to Safety.

The purpose of MAQOHSC supporting this

program is to identify schools particularly in

remote or regional areas where mining and

quarrying activities are likely to be located.

Passport to Safety™ Australia is a unique,

not-for-profit, catalyst for change intended

to help eliminate needless injuries and preventable

deaths of Australians.

Passport to Safety supports the vision that young

Australians have the power to influence the

evolution of safe workplace cultures.

The program assists students in gaining the

basic knowledge and understanding of Work,

Health and Safety, giving young South Australian

students’ knowledge of safety prior to entering

the workforce.

Development of a mining quarry specific module

for student/youth ius under way and will be

available during the 2016/2017 period.

Funded Youth Safety Initiative


MAQOHSC Gold Badge Mental Health First Aid Workplace

The Committee recognises

the lack of knowledge and

stigmatising attitudes about

mental illness.

The Committee has promoted

and supported initiatives that

promote or direct awareness

of the importance of positive

workplace mental health in all

South Australian mines and

quarries since 2013.

The Committee is leading by

example in bringing awareness

to all South Australian mine

and quarry workplaces and it’s

workers, of the importance of

the promotion of good

workplace mental health.

Committee members, staff and

WHS Specialists are trained

‘mental health first aid

officers’. Now all of our

stakeholders including larger

operations, underway in the

State, and those such as sole

operators or small rural and

remote quarry operations, are

able receive assistance on

mental health direct in the

workplace.

Negative workplace attitudes

may prevent workers from

seeking help early and hinder

appropriate support to work

colleagues.

Good mental health helps us to

more fully enjoy and appreciate

our daily work, the people and

environment around us. We all

use our abilities to the fullest,

respond better to stresses and

challenges within daily life, we

are more creative and make the

most of every opportunity when

we are mentally healthy.

To further provide resources to

the quarry sector The Committee

has funded a dedicated quarry

mental health resource package.

The resource kit will include;

• Quarry Mental Health

Management Guide

• Quarry workers Resource

Manual

• Quarry workplace Metal

Health policy Template

• Quarry Workplace mental

Health Support Posters

• Quarry Workplace

Communication and Audit

templates.

The Committee will be releasing

the Quarry Mental Health

Resource later in 2016.

Project Brief

In 2012 MAQOHSC in

conjunction with the University

of South Australia began

funding the proposed project

by doctoral researcher Wesley

McTernan: The Mining Health

& Wellbeing Project.

The proposed research explores

the sources and outcomes

of work stress pertaining to

the mining industry in South

Australia.

Qualitative interviews were

conducted with mining

employees from across

occupational groups to

identify the unique working

conditions associated with the

industry. Research findings

found Fly-in/Fly-out (FIFO)

rosters were associated with a

range of complications with an

employee personal and family

life, with negative spill-over

into both their work and

personal life.

Workers reported high levels of

support from their co-workers,

suggesting co-worker

relationships may mitigate the

conflict caused by FIFO rosters.

Findings further suggested a

high physical safety culture

within the industry, but that a

greater focus could be applied

to a culture for mental health

and wellbeing.

Multiple quantitative studies

were conducted to test the

findings of the qualitative

research. Using previous data

collected by the University of

South Australia, a study was

conducted to test the reports

found in the interviews on the

protective nature of co-worker

support.

We found co-worker support

buffered the negative effects

of work-family conflict (conflict

between work and family roles)

on depression.

An additional study was

conducted by interviewing

both mining workers and

partners of mining workers,

and is in the initial stages of

analyses. Reflecting interview

findings, preliminary findings

of this quantitative dataset

show high levels of Physical

Safety Climate (a culture within

the organisation that reflects

positive policies and attitudes

towards physical safety) within

the industry, but comparatively

far lower levels of Psychosocial

Safety Climate.

Psychosocial Safety Climate was

associated within depression

and anxiety, as well as reported

physical symptoms of sleep

disturbances, gastrointestinal

problems and headaches.

A LONG WAY FROM HOME: INVESTIGATION OF WORK STRESS AND REMOTENESS IN THE MINING INDUSTRY

Candidate:

Wesley P McTernan

Due to public concern over the

impact of remote mining work

on workers and their families,

we conducted research to

explore the stressors of remote

mining work. We used

Psychosocial Safety Climate -

Job Demands Resources model

as an overarching theoretical

framework, and gathered

qualitative and quantitative

data. Depression rates were

high among remote mining

workers and their partners,

and remote work-life conflict

predicted depression. We

identified a unique proximity-

support interaction where

isolation obstructs miner’s

access to support from friends

and family but encourages

compensatory bonds to

develop with peers at work.

We developed a new scale to

measure work-life conflict in

remote work. We proposed

that previous measurement

tools are less applicable, as

new technology-facilitated

work practices that continue

to emerge, challenge previous

spatial and temporal work

boundaries.

Differences in reported depression by swing length (number of days

away from home) of Australian Mining Workers.

Australian Population Averages are from recent Australian Workplace

Barometer data. Means are weighted for age, gender and state.

Notes to and forming part of the financial statements 30 June 2016

NOTE 1 REPORTING ENTITY

The Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund was established to replace the Silicosis fund under the

repealed Workers Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 1986 and is continued under the Return to

Work Act 2014.

Funds standing to the credit of the Silicosis Fund were transferred to ReturnToWorkSA (RTWSA), and

credited to a special account entitled “Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund” which is divided into

two parts:

Part A - to satisfy liabilities under the Silicosis Scheme; and,

Part B - to be available to the Mining and Quarrying Occupational Health and Safety Committee for

the purposes referred to in the Schedule 2 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2012.

At 30 June 2016 Finity Consulting Pty Ltd, Actuaries provided an estimate of the extent of the existing

and prospective liabilities under the Silicosis scheme under the repealed Act. The next review will be

conducted in June 2019.

RTWSA administers the repealed Act and from 1 July 2015 the Return to Work Act 2014 (the Act).

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Act. The Mining and Quarrying

Industries Fund is a controlled entity of RTWSA. All investments held by the fund are pooled with

RTWSA’s investments. Investment income is allocated to the fund based on the average earning rate of

RTWSA as a whole. All expenses incurred by the fund are initially paid for by RTWSA, the actual costs

are then reimbursed by the Fund.

NOTE 2 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE The financial statements are not a general purpose financial report but are prepared consistently with

Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) with the exception of the disclosure requirements of AASB 7

and AASB 132.

Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund has applied Australian Accounting Standards that are applicable

for not-for-profit-entities, as Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund is a not-for-profit entity. Australian

Accounting Standards and interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not

yet effective have not been adopted by Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund for the reporting

period ending 30 June 2016. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial

statements of Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund, except for AASB 9 Financial Instruments, which

becomes mandatory for Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund’s 2019 financial statements and could

change the classification and measurement of financial assets. Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund

does not plan to adopt this standard early and the extent of the impact has not been determined.

Note 8 Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared based on a twelve month period and are presented in Australian currency and have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000s).

The preparation of financial statements requires:

• the use of certain accounting estimates and requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are outlined in applicable notes;

• accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events are reported.

Judgments made by management in the application of AASBs that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in Note 9.

The Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Changes in Equity have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for financial assets that are stated at their fair value and outstanding claims and related recoveries that are discounted to present value using a risk-free rate.

Note 9 Use of judgments and estimates

The Fund makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on The Fund and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are those related to the valuation of outstanding claims liability. The outstanding claims liability has been established on the basis of an independent actuarial assessment of the estimated costs of settlement of claims, inflated for the anticipated effects of inflation and other factors and discounted to a present value at the end of the reporting period.

NOTE 10 RISK MANAGEMENT

The Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund’s investments are pooled with investments of RTWSA.

It is not possible to identify specific assets belonging to the Mining and Quarrying Industry Fund.

Investment income is allocated to the Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund based on the average

earning rate of RTWSA as a whole, the Mining and Quarrying Industries Fund is not subject to the

interest rate risk of any of its individual investments, but rather to the interest rate risk of RTWSA.

Full risk management disclosure is shown in the notes to the RTWSA financial statements.

NOTE 11 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions are initially translated into Australian currency at the rate of exchange at

the date of the transaction. Amounts payable in foreign currencies have been translated to Australian

currency at rates of exchange current at the end of the reporting period, with resulting exchange

differences brought to account at 30 June 2016.

(b) Investments

Investments are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of investments at the reporting

period from the end of the previous reporting period, or from cost of acquisition if acquired during

the financial year, are recognised as gains or losses in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other

Comprehensive Income.

The fair value of investments represents their net fair value and is determined as follows:

• cash assets are carried at the face value of the amounts deposited or drawn which approximates

their fair value

• receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost less impairment

losses

• listed securities and Government securities are valued by reference to market quotations

• underlying property assets and investments in unlisted unit trusts are valued by reference to

independent third parties.

(c) Impairment

All non-current assets are tested for indication of impairment at each reporting date. Where there is

an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount is estimated. An amount by which the asset’s

carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount is recorded as an impairment loss. A financial asset is

considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative

effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

(d) Investment Income

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income

as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in the Statement of

Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income on the date the right to receive payment is established

which is the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date.
