Enhancing Mining Safety: A Proactive Approach to Incident Investigations

This presentation, based on content from the Mines Safety Roadshow 2013, offers insights into improving incident investigations in the mining sector. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on "what" and "how" rather than merely "who" and "why." By utilizing James Reason’s Swiss cheese model, it encourages a shift towards a resilient safety culture, where proactive measures are taken to identify hazards and mitigate risks. This resource is available for non-commercial use and can aid in toolbox meetings and safety discussions. For more information, contact Resources Safety.
