Mining

Mining organizations make up the backbone of industry, putting electricity in homes, fuel in cars, raw materials into consumer products and valuable resources into nearly every industry sector. While the process is largely invisible to end-users, the drive to deliver materials efficiently, responsibly, and safely has led many mining organizations to become best-in-class in operational and safety performance. Managing safety in a mining environment is particularly challenging; reducing hazards require stringent attention to procedures, collaboration among levels, strong leadership, and continual advancement of safety technology.

Creating effective safety solutions for mining operations requires addressing several key challenges, such as:

establishing EHS practices that are "above and beyond" MSHA requirements and that set the standard for industrial safety
moving from a culture of compliance toward a culture of commitment
aligning organizational culture and developing leadership that consistently supports safety excellence at every level

BST's experts work with mining organizations to tailor solutions that work through every level of the organization for consistent, sustainable results. BST has worked with more than 90 mining organizations in 12 countries. Results from a sub study of these client organizations show that on average, mining organizations realize an impressive 40% improvement in injury rates the first year when using BST's methods.
