Health and safety at work is the core essential to workers, their families and communities. Mine explosions and fires (including spon com) are catastrophic risks that have operational challenges and controls. The historical events that caused fatal harm to workers and community have purposefully led to prescriptive legislations as a deterrence. Any overlooking patterns of non-compliance may not yet have caused harm but could definitely lead to catastrophic risks. The proposed workshop aims to share the plethora of avenues to sabotage explosion and fires in mines. The presenters of the workshop would be sharing their 13 decades of cumulative international experiences of managing the catastrophic risks in multi-commodities on promoting “Goods” and controlling “Bads.” This technical workshop on business of distinctive controlling of “Bads” and promoting of “Goods” is worth attending, understanding and implementing.
The intended attendees of the planned workshop include workers and operators from all mining commodities, ventilation engineers, regulators, researchers, academics and investigators. The workshop share will include practical expert material and control knowledge of both goods and bads gained over experiences of prevention and control of mine fires and explosions using visual friendly learning materials. The workshop will share current practical knowledge tools on how to measure impact of major risk identification and estimation in either information rich or deficient environment. The attendees of the workshop will receive insights on exclusion zones and the latest developments in mine fires, spontaneous combustion and state-of the-art ventilation and explosion engineering control systems.
