A FIELD ALERT - CoreSafety - Risk and Change Management in Mining

Health & Safety - Mining, Environmental, & Cybersecurity

Date posted: 10/25/13

The heart of safety management in mining is risk management, i.e., identification of hazards, assessment of their risk, and application of appropriate controls. Regardless of the nature of the hazard (e.g., geological or other energy sources, environmental, process, human error and behavioral, etc.), they should all be addressed through effective risk management. This is the core work within CORESafety. Everything else within CORESafety is in support of risk management (leadership, culture, behavior, training, engineering, control measures, and auditing, etc.).
