Designing the Safe and Attractive Mine

This handbook is about covers tools and gives guidance for making mining more attractive, safer and healthier. Making mining more attractive, safer and healthier requires as much work at current workplaces as it does future ones. It isn’t enough, and sometimes not even possible, to work with these topics in the operating stages of a mine or development project. Often, we have to work in the early project stages; to hope to identify, reduce and reduce hazards in the workplace, we have to work through a continuous process of controlling risks. This starts in the planning stages and is carried on throughout the mining or project lifecycle.
