OHS strategic planning for the mining industry

RiskPro's OHS strategic planning provides a planned, documented and quantifiable approach for the comprehensive and systematic management of OHS business planning and continuous improvement. The company's strategic model encompasses the areas of leadership, behaviour, incident prevention, management and OHS data analysis, and supporting risk management processes.

Our planning process is linked to operational aspects of the company, which are complemented with various management tools. The strategic planning process can be implemented on a project-by-project or day-to-day organisational basis.

By adopting the OHS strategic planning process, companies can benefit from increased leadership commitment, improved behaviour, improved risk identification, greater risk mitigation, cost reductions, and improved systems and processes.

OHS project management services

RiskPro offers OHS project management services to assist with the development and implementation of tailor-made, specific OHS strategies, systems and programmes. The service utilises a three-tiered approach, consisting of:

• Strategic and resource - establishes the strategy for the project moving forward, sets the OHS standards and aligns project leadership to those standards
• Operational – project-specific OHS systems, policies, procedures and risk management plans; OHS compliance programmes and training requirements; audit and gap analysis
• Management tools – implementation of management databases, such as incident reporting and analysis, statistical reporting and analysis, etc.

We deploy personnel on-site to implement project systems and programmes, and continually evaluate and analyse the performance of representatives to ensure a safe and healthy project is maintained, and valid programmes and systems are being implemented.

Our project management personnel offer a range of skills and experience to meet the needs of our clients in ensuring that the health and safety of project personnel is managed to the highest standard.

Mining risk management services

RiskPro consultants have the expertise to facilitate risk management workshops, which apply risk principles in accordance with Australian standards (ISO31000 and AS2885). Our risk management workshops are designed to address all risk sources and locations, which are an integral tool at the design phase of projects.

To facilitate risk management workshops, RiskPro utilises specific risk recording databases to ensure all risks are captured, considered in depth and recorded in a systematic format in accordance with specific Australian standards.

• Risk and opportunity assessments (project and organisational)

• Pipeline construction hazard studies pursuant to AS2885
• Construction hazard identification (HAZID)

OHS health check tool

• Systems, policies and procedures
• Leadership participation
• Employee behaviour
• Risk management process
• Compliance management process
• Communication and consultation
• Audits and inspections
• Incident analysis
• Contractor management
• Workers compensation management

OH&S auditing for the mining industry

RiskPro consultants are qualified to undertake audits of your organisation's OH&S management systems. All audit tools are tailored to the specific requirements of your audit or inspection needs.

Audits identify:

• The adequacy of systems and processes according to the requirements of the business
• Major hazards and the effectiveness of risk management strategies
• Leadership participation
• Level of knowledge of systems within the business
• Effective implementation and compliance to the systems and processes
• Legislative compliance

Auditing also ensures continuous improvement and reviews against 4801 certification requirements.

Incident analysis for the mining industry

The incident cause analysis method (ICAM) is a systematic safety investigation analysis method, which aims to identify local factors (root causes) and failures within a company's broader organisation and productive system that can contribute to an incident occurring.

RiskPro consultants have been trained in the ICAM application of investigation and analysis. Through the analysis of incident information, factual causes are identified and enable qualified recommendations for improvement and prevention.

We provide clear and comprehensive reports with recommendations for improvement and prevention.
