SESSION 5: Current Status and future of Critical Control Management in the Quarrying Industry
Speaker: Prof David Cliff, Minerals Industry Safety & Health Centre, Sustainable Minerals Institute, The University of Queensland
While the risks are often well-known in the quarrying industry, a lack of sufficient risk-identification and control management can lead to serious injury and fatalities. The International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) recently acknowledged that Critical Control Management (CCM) is “an integral part of risk management and aids in identifying the priority risks in a company and implementing critical controls to prevent an incident or mitigate its impact”. This presentation looks at the 9 steps involved in implementing a critical control management program into your business.

 

SESSION 6: Drone Technology
Speaker: Dave Arnott, Resource Manager for Holcim
Undertaking geotechnical inspections of geological hazards in Quarries has potential to place personnel at risk or be ineffective where traditional inspection methods are employed. Learn how Holcim personnel have been utilising inexpensive and emerging technologies to collect and process low altitude aerial observational data providing geotechnical advice to operational sites in a rapid and cost-effective manner

2:30 pm

SESSION 7: Mental Health & Young Australians
Speaker: Nicole Thomas, Community Development Lead, Headspace
Mental health problems are the most common health problems in young people. Between 20 and 25 per cent of Australian adolescents will experience a mental health or substance-abuse problem in any given year. Many will experience more than one problem at the same time. Anxiety, depression and substance abuse are the leading mental health problems in young people. This session focuses on providing people with the tools to cope with change and challenges, identifying emotional triggers that can make us aware of our own mental health and how we can access support for our self or somebody around you.
