Handbook

There is a more recent version of this academic item available.

Overview

The aim of this course is to provide students with an appreciation of the broad range of risks faced by a mining operation, for which a dynamic range of risk management strategies are required - from feasibility, planning and design, through to normal operations. These include economic risks, geological risks, environmental risks, external factors and influences, and of course health and safety risks. The module will introduce students to the processes of hazard identification, risk assessment, and a number of risk management strategies available. In the context of mining hazards and safety related risks, the course will also review a number of generic mine safety factors and how these manifest themselves in different mining systems and methods of mining.
