Perth, Australia 201513 Achievements (cont’d) ● Establishment of Chamber’s CEO Elimination of Fatalities Team strengthened leadership commitment to safety ● Strong collaboration between Business, Government and Orgarnised Labour ● Agreement and signing of new ten-year (2014) mine health and safety milestones ● Launch of Centre of Excellence – innovation and technology to drive future of SA mining ● Published some peer-reviewed articles on occupational safety – one voted 2014 most outstanding paper by Emerald Group Publishers ● Book manuscript chapters 80% completed and book publication proposal to be sent to Emerald Group Publishers by end of May 2015 ● Collaborating with Accelerated Learning Laboratory (ALL)/Centre for Safety and IM4DC on two occupational safety research in extractive industry * Benchmarking status of safety in developing countries * Safety challenges of informal coal mining in KwaZulu Natal peri-urban area

14. Perth, Australia 201514 Challenges towards achieving goal of zero harm ● Effective implementation of safety culture transformation framework – especially for smaller and emerging mining companies ● Empowerment of workers to refrain from dangerous work and take ownership of their safety ● Fall of ground, General and TMM risks present significant obstacle to achieving zero harm ● Prevention of fire accidents and emergency preparedness ● Faster adoption of research and leading practices (proximity detection systems and safety nets ● Women health, safety and security in the mines ● Depth (geology), literacy and skills ● Labour relations environment ● Finding enough time to write up peer review journal articles and completing book manuscript for publication
