Leadership Commitment
Strong safety culture begins with leadership. Managers must lead by example, set clear safety expectations, conduct audits, and actively participate in safety activities and training.
Open Communication
Establish clear and open communication channels—such as safety meetings or suggestion systems to encourage employees to voice concerns and provide feedback on safety matters.
Comprehensive Training
Provide ongoing training tailored to mining operations, including hazard identification and emergency response, along with regular refresher courses and drills.
Proactive Risk Management
Continuously assess and manage site-specific risks like rock falls, gas emissions, and fire hazards, implementing control measures to mitigate them effectively.
Incident Reporting & Continuous Improvement
Encourage the reporting of all incidents and near-misses. Use these reports to investigate root causes, monitor safety performance, and drive ongoing improvements.
