Introduction to health and safety

In this video, Michael will give an overview of the topics that will be covered during this week. He emphasises the importance of companies using adequate health and safety measures, in an industry as dangerous as mining, to identify, reduce and eliminate risks in the operations. He highlights several mining related risks and discusses the reasons why health and safety measures have gained more and more attention in recent years i.e. as a result of mining disasters and the global trend to improve working conditions.
