• To establish a productive mine• To create a management system to

support the business needs• Comply with legislation by

establishing standards, consultation arrangements and embedding effective safety systems

• Improve workplace behaviors, safety and welfare

• Build a workplace safety culture• Pass workplace safety ownership

back to the workforce.

Gujarat NRE’sSafety Objectives

Page 8: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

SAFETY :NEED FOR POSITIVE MINDSET

World class efficiency & productivity can not be reached without a world class safety record

Need to create a culture where People are convinced that accidents are preventable

Where they feel empowered to challenge a situation that they feel unsafe

Where they take active responsibility for their safety and safety of others

Page 9: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

SAFETY :NEED FOR QUALITY HOUSE KEEPING Proper Housekeeping is a basic & an important

requirement of safety Indiscipline and haphazard housekeeping may at

times turn fatal All tools, equipments should be kept in their proper

place which need to be properly marked for easy access – put right thing in right place

Proper signage for easy identification and location Cleanliness & personal hygiene is a must Employees need to be sensitized, trained and

encouraged to follow proper housekeeping norms

Page 10: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

What we Practice in our Mines

Maintain an effective occupational health & safety management system

Ensure that hazards are identified, managed and controlled through the adoption of risk management approach

Provide appropriately maintained training and personal protective equipment to ensure that they can operated safely at all times

Rehabilitation Policy – Ensure that proper treatment is offered and the Return-to-Work norms are adhered to for smooth rehabilitation

Page 11: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

What we Practice in our Mines

Investigate all injuries & incidents to prevent recurrence, establish measureable objectives and targets to ensure continued improvement in safety and health performance

Comply with all relevant legislations, codes of practice, Australian standards

Developed SHECQ (Safety, Health, Environment, Community & Quality) Management System in line with recognised management system standards: Consultation and Communication process involving workgroup

representatives, endorsed by workforce and included involvement of a company director at meetings.

Page 12: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

Hazard Management

SAM = Stop Act ManageWhat is the purpose of a SAM?A Personal hazard identification tool, it prompts you to - Stop, assess the job for hazards- Act, control the hazards- Manage, you have to manage your work area and complete the task safely

Page 13: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

What we Do Introduced:• Triple AAA – Attitude Awareness Accountability• JSEA’s – Job Safety Environmental Analysis (workplace job

safety analysis and risk assessment)• SAM – STOP ACT MANAGE (Workplace Hazard

Identification Tool)• Safety Meter – a performance measurement tool designed

to reinforce positive behaviour while raising awareness on workplace safety and procedural compliance (connecting safety management systems and coal face actual).

Page 14: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

Employees & Stakeholders are expected toCome to work in a fit & healthy stateNot commence task if it appears unsafe to do soFollow all safety rules, procedures and directions by

mining officials & staffLook out for, assist and reward fellow team members at

all timesWear all PPE as prescribed and report all accidents &

incidents at once

Page 15: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

Employee Safety has been our Watchword

• Organise regular safety drills and workshops

• Specialized Focus on Safety – Instituted an innovative Quarterly Chairman Safety Awards for all employees

Page 16: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

We Believe Employees are our Biggest Strength

Technology Both the mines are old mines which ones the

world’s mining giants thought worked out and not viable

We have used latest mining technology in developing the mines and are continuously engaged in mine development

One of our mines is just below the Sydney Catchment Area which is the prime source of water for the city of Sydney

Page 21: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

Both the mines are under longwall mining

ICEM MAY FOCUS ON

Mining Technology & Automation

Mine Safety Research & Higher

Education

Page 26: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

Collision Avoidance - Arising out of increasing complexity and size of the equipments to achieve productivity demands

Personnel Tracking - Advance system is available in surfaced operation, but the challenge is in underground mining. Personnel location in emergency situations, will allow better safety management and improved situation recovery by emergency services

MINING TECHNOLOGY & SAFETY - SUGGESTED FOCUS AREAS

Page 27: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

Diesel Particulate Reduction - Diesel particulate matter is a Type 1 carcinogen. Challenge is in maintaining Tier 4/Euro V standards of engine package and redesigning the exhaust and other engineering controls around high temperature surfaces

Longwall Face Automation - Reduce the risks (of gas, dust, strata failure, and high pressure hydraulics) associated with personnel being on the face whilst cutting

Predictive Mining Effects Evaluation Tools - Use of laser topographic imaging systems augmented by geotechnical models for laying out mine plans to maximise resource . Site subsidence data also forms an integral part of predictive model

MINING TECHNOLOGY & SAFETY - SUGGESTED FOCUS AREAS

Page 28: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

ETHICS & MINING

Mining can not be sustained if not carried out ethically

It is important that as a premier centre of excellence on mining, due importance is given in sensitizing the stakeholders in mining on the importance of ethics:

Ethical in dealing with the environment & the ecosystem

Ethical in relation to stakeholders

Ethical in Business

Page 29: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

POLICY RESEARCH & ADVOCACY

Policy Advocacy may be a differentiating factor compared to other mining institutes & centers of excellence in the country

Policy advocacy group may comprehensively look at all the mining laws & policies in the country and elsewhere to act as a think tank for suggesting better mining laws & creating an enabling environment for sustainable mining in the country

Policy Advocacy group need to sensitize the policy makers to create rules & regulations which would enable the industry to transact ethically – Ethics is a two way traffic built on trust & transparency

Page 30: Safety & Technology  in  Mining

The Indian Industry today needs…

• More transparency & lesser touch points with

government agencies

• Simplification and digitalization

• More of e-governance, online filling of forms,

applications & returns

• Less of multiple-level interfaces and

• TRUST
