Framework for Mining Safety & Health Excellence
Leadership
Culture
Systems
Each mining company has different requirements relative to the need to improve each element.
It is the integration & active management of these three
elements that minimizes the potential for mining
morbidity & mortality.

Operational Risk Management Literature
• Application of existing risk assessment techniques to: – Slope stability, coal spontaneous combustion, haul truck operations,
escape ways, mine hoisting, tunneling, blasting, etc.
• Development of new risk assessment techniques. • Optimization of different risk management (RM) approaches. • Characterization of RM-based management systems. • Longitudinal performance associated with mandatory RM-
based management systems (international).
Center for Mining Safety & Health Excellence
Operational Risk Management Research Needs
• Characterization of RM practices across mining companies with long-term good and poor safety performance.
• Characterization of cultural and leadership characteristics of companies using RM practices with long-term good and poor safety performance, i.e., precursors to effective RM policy.
• Assessment of intervention effectiveness of RM processes in mining companies with long-term good and poor safety performance, i.e., relative effectiveness of RM programs.
• Assessment of the efficacy of consensus standard RM-based management systems versus company-specific RM-based management systems, i.e., how important is customization?

Operational Risk Management Research Needs
• Intervention effectiveness of different management systems facilitation variable (leadership, responsibility, accountability, etc.) in reduction of safety outcomes.
• Assessment of the acceptance of different RM processes in very small (N ≤ 10 ), small (N ≤ 50), and larger (N > 50)mining companies, i.e., will small mines use non-mandatory RM?
• Assessment of the efficacy of RM processes in very small (N ≤ 10), small (N ≤ 50), and larger (N > 50) mining companies.
• Characterization and patterns of individual and group heuristics in accuracy of risk estimation (probability & consequence), i.e., what informs mining risk judgment?
Center for Mining Safety & Health Excellence
Operational Risk Management Research Needs
• Assessment of the relative effectiveness of different risk assessment techniques in the accuracy of risk estimation and perceived ease of use by individuals and groups.
• Assessment of miner participation in risk assessment (e.g., estimation and control development) and its impact on risk attitude, perception and behavior.
