Working near heavy equipment, various weather conditions, at great heights, in confined spaces, near hazardous materials and in wet, dry, or dusty conditions brings inherent risk to mine employees. Minimizing the impact of these conditions on their health and safety is paramount.
At a basic level, managing these occupational health risks involves developing comprehensive health programs, providing regular health assessments, and the appropriate protective measures such as necessary gear and preparatory training for mining personnel.
However, beyond these measures, fostering a strong safety culture, developing a comprehensive emergency response plan, mental health and well-being resources, and implementing fatigue management protocols are steps forward-thinking mining companies are taking to operate sustainable, safer mines.
By developing detailed safety policies, effective communication and training, and investing in technology and infrastructure, mine operators can better protect employees and foster safer mines.
