We believe that achieving zero safety incidents is possible. Our rigorous management system, based on the OHSAS 18001 framework, guides our way. Our signature workforce safety program, Target Zero, is a way of working that is integrated into all that we do. This belief extends to: • A work environment where all known hazards are eliminated or safeguarded • People who understand their jobs, are properly trained, are mentally and physically fit, and follow proper work practices so that safety is integrated into all tasks performed • An empowered workforce where individuals take responsibility for their own safety, the safety of those they work with, and the safety of the communities surrounding our operations In 2010, TransAlta’s coal & mining, renewables, gas and construction teams all have their sights set on achieving aggressive but achievable safety targets across the fleet. Overall, this year we are striving to achieve an almost 13 per cent improvement compared to our year end in 2009. The teams are aiming to reduce the total number of recordable incidents to 52 compared to 56 in 2009. “We are getting back to the basics to improve our safety performance in 2010 TransAlta currently has to ensure that everyone goes home safely Over the past year there has been a steady increase in at the end of each day,” said Rod Kause, 412 MW of projects in activities at Pit 4 of the Highvale Mine.

As of March 3, 2010, there have been only six recordable incidents. “By working together and remaining focused we can maintain this positive trend and celebrate our best first quarter performance ever,” added Kause. Project Pioneer: How Will it Work? Project Pioneer is among the world’s largest fully-integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiatives within the power sector. It will be a near-commercial scale demonstration of all elements of the CCS chain through a unique combination of partners, technology and integration. How will Project Pioneer Work Project Pioneer will be among the world’s first projects to test the full life cycle of CCS. Operating by 2015, Project Pioneer will be integrated with Keephills 3 (K3) – a 450 MW supercritical coal-fired plant jointly owned by TransAlta and Capital Power.
