CORESafety Module 10
In Module 10, we focus on Safety and Health Management Assurance.
Mine operations should fully comply with statutory and regulatory requirements to ensure value-added regulations are leveraged. This can be best accomplished by integrating an improvement cycle with the company’s safety and health management system and applying the Plan-Do-Check-Act process to each regulation.
Each requirement should have someone responsible for ensuring the requirements are met and working as designed continuously. This feedback is essential for compliance.
It is important to periodically assess the implementation of and conformance to the expectations of the SHMS. By doing this, you can ensure an adequate structure exists?to analyze the fitness and effectiveness of the modules, expectations and site-specific practices.
Senior management should oversee this process and may involve internal and external audits and assessments. Where nonconformance is identified, corrective action should be taken to ensure continual improvement in both SHMS effectiveness and subsequent safety and health performance.
There are five (5) expectations in Module 10 that you should review and follow when implementing CORESafety at your mining operation. You can learn about these expectations by watching this episode of CORESafety TV and by going here on the CORESafety website.
