I've connected with CEOs of mining companies and contractors operating in Tjiwarl country, and they insist there is a very strong need for redeploying staff into thier operations. There's a critical call to aid those Tjiwarl people impacted by these forthcoming BHP job cuts. Collaboration among Government, Industry, and the community is essential to plan the transition effectively. Training, skills development, and support for traditional owner businesses are crucial. It's vital for BHP, along with Federal and State governments, to take action. Let's ensure the impactful efforts of Tjiwarl AC and Nickelwest in creating opportunities for our community survive this speed bump and grow. #MiningIndustry #CommunitySupport #JobOpportunities #tjiwarl

An interesting but not surprising article about two companies and a mine supervisor who were fined $1.57 million after a worker was killed. WorkSafe said “All mining operations must have safe systems of work in place to protect workers from hazardous conditions.” As the person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU), it is your responsibility to provide a safe and healthy workplace, as far as is reasonably practicable, for your workers. A safe system of work ensures that work is being conducted in a manner that is safe and involves no, or at least, as little risk as possible. All too often we’ve found that while there has been investment in safety systems and documentation, there has not been the same level of investment in empowering frontline workers, supervisors, and contractors to ensure all risks are considered and ‘safety as planned’ = ‘safety as done’. It’s not just about developing procedures and documentation; it’s about how these expectations are reflected in the practices on the front line. Do you have a robust process for onboarding and monitoring contractors? Do you know if your contractors have a safe system of work in place? Are the safety standards and procedures in documentation reflected in the practices on the front line? Are you overwhelming workers and supervisors with documentation or empowering them with the right information at the right time? Are your supervisors empowered with information about the current hazards within their work area and what they are accountable for? We believe that a safe system underpinned by a culture which continually seeks to improve workplace health and safety practices must start with transparency of risks, effective communication, and the tools to enforce accountability for safety at all levels.

Approvals for surface rock mining (quarrying) for construction and other types of stone in Malaysia - should this be decentralised or centralised Government decision making ? * Surface mining to extract rock for construction and other uses by the nature of the operations, stir citizens emotions. * Whether its residential areas close by and/or environmental disturbance, rock quarrying is a sensitive activity requiring proper consultation with all stakeholders. * Citizens cherish areas of natural beauty too so how does Malaysia's Government balance the nations need for minerals with protecting Malaysia's areas of natural beauty and residential developments. * Where in Malaysia are the decisions to mine and quarry taken, State or Federal level? * How can the stakeholders of mine developments be assured that their interests are being fully considered before decisions are taken to open up land, and start extracting rock? * Where local residents are concerned, environmental damage, noise (from blasting), dust (from rock drilling, rock processing, quarry and road delivery transport), and disturbance from Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) movements all make them anxious. * Surely, it starts with Malaysia's national mineral extraction plan, which areas have been designated for extraction, and who is responsible for ensuring a proper assessment process is followed before planning permission to extract, is granted. * Is there central Government overview of mineral extraction decisions to ensure an ethical process, and the interests of all stakeholders are taking into account. * If this was the case, the residents mentioned in the press report enclosed with this write up should have been fully consulted on this quarry development, and if quarrying is granted permission, regular community consultation gatherings should be mandated to listen to, and address residents concerns.

🟢 A tragic incident occurred at the Stillwater Mine in Nye, Montana, on November 13, 2023, leading to the untimely death of a contract worker, Noah Dinger of Idaho, during the early hours of Monday 🟠 Dinger, working for Moran Mining of Canada, was involved in a machinery accident while bolting up wire panels for future mine development at an elevation of 7200 feet. This incident prompted a temporary halt of operations at the mine, the only North American producer of platinum and palladium. The federal Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) is actively investigating the accident to determine the cause and ensure future safety. Sibanye Stillwater, the South African company owning the mine, expressed deep sorrow over the loss and acknowledged the impact on their tight-knit workplace. Mining operations are expected to resume with a comprehensive safety briefing for all employees. We’ll follow up on MSHA’s findings to understand the conditions and actions that lead up to this unfortunate incident in hopes to provide possible prevention and control measures which are not yet addressed. We at Z-TEX Safety suggest our readers analyze these reports to strengthen organizational safety discipline and cultivate a robust safety culture. This is our goal when sharing these news reports. #Workplacesafety #Workplacefatality #OSHA #Safety #SafetyFirst #ASSP #NSC #SafetyManager #OHS #EHS #BeSafe #SafetyTraining #HealthandSafety #EmployeeSafety #SafetyProfessionals #MineSafety #MSHA #MSHATraining #Miner #HR #Management

Safety Management in Abandoned Mines: Are You Discharging Your Obligations? Our team at SSE Co specialises in effectively meeting health and safety responsibilities in abandoned mines, a critical aspect often required by Queensland's two Mining Health and Safety Acts, being the CMSHA (1999) and the MQSHA (1999). These two pieces of legislation mandate that the duty of care on Holders of mining leases extends to abandoned mines, which present unique hazards and challenges, including: Public Safety Risks: The lack of activity in abandoned mines may lead to unauthorized access by the public. Environmental Hazards: Emergencies may necessitate immediate remediation efforts to mitigate environmental damage, often requiring contractors and equipment. Social and Property Concerns: We address impacts on adjacent lands, businesses, and cultural heritage to mitigate adverse effects. If you're overseeing an abandoned mine and unsure of or having trouble meeting your compliance, SSE Co is ready to assist. We offer comprehensive services, from fulfilling statutory roles like Mine Operator and Site Senior Executive to support services such as reviews and audits, compliance checks, gap analysis and general safety and health consulting.

Okay, so for those of y'all who haven't been following some of the big gnarly jobs like Farley and Ruttan... Why did Pete join Outcome? Who is Outcome? Outcome specializes in early contractor involvement for complex, remote and northern projects involving remediation, decommissioning, mining, and civil construction scopes where intensive design, risk management, quality management, project planning and project controls expertise is required. While Outcome is often a valued advisory to Owners, Outcome **primarily provides support to constructors; it also has the required bonding (surety) and insurance to participate as the lead proponent or a joint venture partner.** Outcome is a nimble, responsive, privately-held, value-based organization intensely focused on its purpose: creating certainty for Owners and Constructors. The firm has over 13 years of corporate experience, over 100 years of key staff experience, and excellent references for safe, on-budget, large-scale remote, northern and indigenous environmental and civil projects. Outcome fully understands the constraints, challenges and logistics of complex and remote work. This has included mining or remediation projects at Ruttan mine near Leaf Rapids MB, Hudbay's Flin Flon Mining Complex in Flin Flon MB and Anderson Tailings Impoundment Area in Snow Lake MB, B2Gold's Back River Gold mine NU, Jericho mine NU, Bullmoose and Ruth mines NT, Eagle Gold mine YT, Farley Mine near Lynn Lake MB, Faro mine YT, Giant mine NT, Outpost Island mine NT, Resolute Bay Landfill Remediation NU, Eureka and Isachsen High Arctic Weather Stations in NU, as well as many others.  Our proven experience extends across northern Canada, and includes some of the toughest access and support constraints imaginable. A major part of Outcome’s success has been meaningful partnerships with Indigenous peoples; we have achieved Indigenous participation involving from 40% to 80% of employee hours on our projects, and constantly seek to exceed conventional expectations. We are a partner in FORWARD Mining LP, which is majority owned by Deninu Kue Development Corporation. Outcome is also a partner in Nuqsana Outcome Inc. which is majority-owned by Nuqsana Inc., a 100% Nunavut-owned company based in Rankin Inlet. Outcome is also a continuing member of the Brighter Futures Circle of Indspire, a Canadian non-profit providing over $30M/year of funding for Indigenous students, and we seek out opportunities to work with First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in every way we can - whether as a partner, a service provider, employer or an educator/capacity-builder.
