Critical control management implementation guide (2015)
This book is an integral part of risk management that focuses on identifying and managing the controls that are critical to preventing catastrophic or fatal events. The implementation guide provides a summary of the critical control management process, touching on the history of the discipline, its benefits, the challenges and how to prepare and plan to implement the approach. It also includes a step-by-step guide that uses health and safety case studies to demonstrate the approach, providing the actions needed to achieve the target outcomes within each step.
Health and safety critical control management: Good practice guide (2015)
ICMM has published practical guidance on preventing the most serious types of health and safety incidents in mining and metals. The approach described in this book is designed to identify and manage acts, objects or systems onsite - the "critical controls" - that need to be in place to either prevent a serious incident occurring or minimize the consequences if a serious incident were to occur.
Mining in ecologically sensitive landscapes (2015)
This book explores the interface between geology and botany, and mining and conservation. Many areas of unusual geology that contain ore-bearing bodies also support unique ecological communities of plants and animals. Increasing demand to exploit rich mineral deposits can lead to a conflict between mining and conservation interests in such landscapes. This book brings together experts in the field of mining and conservation to grapple with this pressing issue and to work toward a positive outcome for all.
