Mining hurts people through hazards that were identifiable — the nature of the operation, the complexity of its systems, procedures and methods guarantees them, and only disciplined identification and assessment brings the risk to a tolerable level. This programme teaches hazard identification and risk analysis as mining practises it: identifying the undesirable events that can lead to a hazard, analysing the mechanisms by which they could occur, and estimating the extent, magnitude and likelihood of harmful effects. The cohort works through hazards and precautions in surface mines and underground workings, risk analysis methodologies and assessment procedures, and the analysis of real mine accidents — using assessment to set priorities so the most dangerous situations are addressed first.

Frequently asked
Who should attend hazard identification and risk assessment training for mining?
SHEQ supervisors and managers, SHEQ representatives and committee members, subject experts supporting risk assessments, and employees and contractors working on mine sites. The programme is grounded in the SHE management system and the terminology of risk assessment, so it serves both those who run assessments and those who take part in them.
Does the course cover both surface and underground mining?
Yes. The cohort works through hazards and precautions in surface mines and in underground workings — identifying the undesirable events that can lead to a hazard, analysing the mechanisms by which they could occur, and estimating the extent, magnitude and likelihood of harmful effects.
How are real mine accidents used in the programme?
Real mine accidents are dissected as case studies and tested against mining industry safety standards. The same assessment discipline is then used to rank risks and set priorities, so the most dangerous situations are addressed first.
Is the training available in French or as an in-house edition?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your mine sites and SHE management system. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
