Mine safety–through appropriate combination of technology and management practice
The Australian mining industry has embraced risk-based management strategies across the entire spectrum of applications, from feasibility studies and mine planning and design, through to new equipment and technology implementation. This paper provides a review of the importance of such an approach in providing a proactive strategy for mine safety-achieving an appropriate blend of both technology and risk-based mining practices. Management of core risks associated with particular mining systems, together with understanding critical technical and technology risks is essential to achieving a safe mine. Key ingredients within the management systems also include good communications, education and training. In the case of underground mining, geotechnical risks are often paramount. The paper discusses some major achievements in the field of underground geomechanics and how these have influenced mine safety management and design.
