Mining & Metals
We support the mining & metals industry with its EHS, risk, and compliance requirements.
About mining and metals companies
Mining and metals companies extract minerals and metals from the earth for use in jewellery, industrial applications, and investments.
Their operations are usually considered to be risky due to the health and safety risks to employees and contractors involved.
Furthermore, mining companies need to deal with the environmental and social impacts of their activities.
The challenge
Mining companies need to manage various EHS aspects of their operations.
- Oversee and manage all permits required to initiate and conduct a mining operation
- Identify all safety hazards and ensure that the inherent risks are mitigated
- Record and investigate all incidents, injuries, near misses, and non-conformances
- Assess all environmental aspects and impacts
The solution
Conducting mining operations can be a sizeable and complex task, consisting of various interrelated phases which make up the lifecycle of a mine. IsoMetrix reduces risk and improves efficiencies at every phase of the process.
1. Feasibility phase
Use IsoMetrix to assist with the feasibility phase of a proposed project. Centralize economic, legal, technical, and environmental information and measurements, including environmental baseline data, and risks identified.
2. Construction phase
Proactively manage environmental project obligations and EHS risks. Prevent and manage unwanted events until closeout.
3. Operation phase
Manage all EHS risks and critical controls through an integrated risk process, conduct audits and inspections, and monitor environmental impacts.
A carbon footprint can be calculated with targets and reduction initiatives set.
Tailings facility aspects can be tracked to achieve compliance and minimize incidents.
4. Closure phase
Manage the risks and obligations unique to mine closure with IsoMetrix. Maintain safety and security obligations, and ensure that environmental monitoring and reporting continues.
5. Monitoring and rehabilitation phase
Ensure that environmental rehabilitation is successful.
The outcome
By utilizing IsoMetrix software via a single, integrated risk and control-centric platform, mining companies can:
- Better manage their health and safety risks
- Identify key areas for improvement, and boost their EHS operational efficiencies
- Control all their necessary compliance activities
