Safety and health in smallscale surface mines: A
The objectives of this handbook are: to protect workers in smallscale surface (openpit) mines from safety and health hazards and risks in their work; to prevent or reduce the incidence and severity of illness and injury in smallscale surface mines, and to promote training, knowledge sharing and social dialogue The handbook is targeted at all involved in openpit smallscale mining and sets Mine safety training saves lives In 1978, the year the Mine Safety and Health Administration was established, 242 miners died in mining accidents In 2012 the number of deaths had dropped to 36 Training the people who work in the mining industry – and retraining annually – helps reduce deaths, injuries and illnessesMINE SAFETY TRAINING HANDBOOK Mining Health WORLD BANK ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES MINING AND MILLING OPEN PIT TAILINGS DISPOSAL Tailings must be disposed of in a manner that optimizes protection of human safety and the environment Onland tailings impoundment systems must be designed and constructed in accordance with internationally recognizedMining Milling Open Pit [Guidelines] MIGA

Securing openpit mine safety Mining Safety
Mining is a business fraught with risks From natural disasters to faulty equipment and human error, safety and productivity is constantly threatened by accidents and breakdowns These risks can affect not only the functioning and thereby the mining industry professionals with many years of experience, which includes miners, foremen, superintendents and engineers, along with safety professionals from Luminant, the mining industry and MSHA Keep in mind this is a general handbook and will not cover every situation If you have any questions regarding these procedures, the LuminantMining Contractor Safety Reference HandbookIntroduction: Many accidents and incidents on mine sites have a causal factor in the rules and regulations that supposedly are in place to prevent the incident from occurring The causes involve a lack of awareness or understanding, ignorance, or deliberate violations The issue of mine rules, procedures, and regulations is a central focus of this paper, highlighted by this recent comment Safety rules and regulations on mine sites the

The surrounding rock is removed before the ore at the same level can be mined Bench mining is an effective and well established mining method, which allows maximum extraction from the rock with a high degree of safety Openpit mining takes place in several stages: Shaping In open pit mining, accurate GNSS is useful for tasks such as machine guidance, grading, dozing, drilling, collision avoidance, surveying, and fleet management GNSS Augmentation techniques such as DGNSS or RTK increase the accuracy achieved to the level required for some of the mining activities and are normally used in GNSS mining systemsMining Navipedia GSSCOpenpit mining often involves the removal of natively vegetated areas, and is therefore among the most environmentally destructive types of mining, especially within tropical forests Overburden (also called waste or spoi l) is the material that lies above an area with economic or scientific interestOpenpit mining – General Overview Protect

Conventionally, mining industry relies on a deterministic view, where a unique mine plan is determined based on a single resource model A major shortfall of this approach is the inability to assess the risk caused by the wellknown geological uncertainty, ie the in situ grade and tonnage variability of the mineral deposit Despite some recent attempts in developing stochastic mine planning • Tailings Dam Safety Bulletin from the International Committee on Large Dams (ICOLD) • Guide to the Management of Tailings Facilities Developing an Operation, Maintenance, and Surveillance • Manual for Tailings and Water Management Facilities (the OMS Guide) from the Mining Association of Canada (MAC)Policy for Dam Safety and Geotechnical Mining Structures and determinationof exclusion zones around pit crests (and inpit floors that must remain open to access) Keywords: geotechnical, open pit, closure 1 Introduction A changing mining industry climate is resulting in a greater focus on geotechnical aspects affecting the stability of open pit Geotechnical considerations for the stability of open pit
