Baseline and Continuous Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment for Mines

Builds practical competence in conducting baseline, issue based and continuous risk assessments across mining operations, in line with the risk assessment expectations of Southern African mining law. Participants learn to rank mining hazards, set meaningful controls and keep risk registers alive as operations change. The course uses working templates that delegates can apply to their own shafts, pits and plants immediately.
