The mining industry must reach the highest levels of safety and occupational health practice. Minerals Industry Safety Handbook is a resource that will help all mine sites to reach these levels.

Everyone on a mine site has a ‘duty of care’ around safety and health. This includes mine owners, employees, employee representatives, site managers, corporate and technical staff, contractors, consultants and government officers. The mining and extractive industries’ duty of care also extends to the community in many ways.

The information in Minerals Industry Safety Handbook is key when a mine develops or reviews its operating practices. As part of this, the Handbook can help to identify competency and training needs. A competent and trained workforce means that managers, supervisors and employees are better able to work safely and to fulfill their duty of care.
