Describe the situation
Due to recent observed audit findings indicating potential material risk hazards and ongoing hazard remediation strategies, there is a requirement to install dropped object controls at identified locations on the mine site.
Describe the problem or opportunity
Reduce the residual risk rating for a material spillage event at identified locations. Provide protection for personnel traversing underneath the nominated conveyor structures. Reopen pedestrian and vehicle access to areas restricted by demarcation.
How was it solved or captured?
Audits and assessments were undertaken by third party auditors; the audits were completed with a number of recommended controls suggested to implement dropped object or overhead spillage controls for specifically feed conveyors.
