Safety Shares
Enhancing Safety in Underground Mining
In this episode of #The Safety Share, sponsored by B2Gold, Jon Treen will host a panel of three experts to discuss underground mining ground control theory and best practices. Anna Perry and Kathy Kalenchuk, from RockEng, and Ryan Lyle, from Cementation, will delve into the critical aspects of ground control competency and its pivotal role in saving lives in underground mining operations. Ground control, the foundation of safety in underground environments, demands a thorough understanding of theory and adherence to best practices. They will illuminate the significance of ground control procedures and safety practices by drawing on their invaluable hands-on experience working underground alongside crews, engineers, and management teams.
Serious Injury and Prevention II – Study Group Outcomes
This episode of #TheSafetyShare will be a follow-up to the introduction of the Global Mining Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) Study Group, including an update on the group findings to date. The Study Group represents a cross-section of the global mining industry, and it is collaborating to advance our understanding of the foundations and fundamental concepts around SIF causation and prevention.
The Safety Share 2023 season finale
In this seventh and last episode of #TheSafetyShare in 2023, we will discuss how the CIM Health and Safety Society can help professionals from across the industry improve their company's health and safety performance.
Leveraging Diversity to Improve Safety
In this sixth episode of #TheSafetyShare, sponsored by Equinox Gold, we will be discussing how health and safety performance can be improved by fostering an inclusive, diverse and equitable working environment.
Serious Injury and Fatality Prevention for Engineers
This episode of #TheSafetyShare will build on Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) prevention in mining and metal processing, specifically what engineers can do to design out potentially fatal conditions in our mines, plants and systems. Our industry has made significant progress over the past decades in significantly reducing serious injuries and fatalities using concepts and principles like ALARA (As Low As Reasonable Acceptable), the hierarchy of controls, and management of change. However, our collective progress has plateaued in recent years, indicating that we still have a long way to go in achieving our collective mission of zero lives lost and zero lives harmed by an occupational illness or injury.
