CORESafety says that 2015 was the safest year in mining history, according to the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Ensuring every miner returns home without injury every single day is the #1 priority for all mining companies, especially those that have implemented safety and health management systems like CORESafety.
Matt Pedersen-Howard, vice president of health and safety for Peabody Energy, played an integral role in helping design CORESafety back in 2011. He believes that having the right culture in a company can significantly increase its potential for safety. One of the things that really differentiates CORESafety from other traditional safety and health management systems is its focus on culture and mechanisms to understand the perception of employees, explained Pedersen-Howard in a recent Dig a Little Deeper interview.
Leadership is fundamental. Leaders define, drive and shape culture, he explains. Culture is integral in determining whether we have safe, healthy, productive operations or not. But to have this type of culture you have to have strong, committed leaders.
