Critical Risk Control Standards (CRCS)


26/182

26


The CRCS have been introduced to St Barbara after a review of incidents inthe mining industry have identified a series of key critical risks risks that

often result in fatalities

The CRCS establish minimum business wide requirements and

performance expectations for managing these risk areas

The existence of the CRCS does not presume coverage of all risk areasfaced by our operations.


27/182

27


The 12 Critical Risk Control Standards:

Light Vehicles

Surface Mobile Equipment

Underground Mobile Equipment

Lifting Operations

Hazardous Material Handling

Underground Ground Control

Plant Equipment and Power Tools

Isolations

Working at Heights

Surface Mining Ground Control

Confined Space

Explosives

Rules to Live By


29/182

29

Rules to Live By

Context:Many companies have rules in place that prevent fatalities. These rules are

often mixed up with less critical rules and their importance is lost. This places

personnel at serious risk.

The Rules To Live By are designed to prevent fatalities: They must be:

1. Clearly defined2. Understood by all St Barbara employees and contractors

3. Supported by a fair process to manage a breach of one or more rules

Purpose:

Explain why we need these Rules To Live By

Explain the process for a breach of any Rule Provide explanation for each of the Rules

Responsibilities

Confirmation of understanding


30/182

30

Why Rules To Live By?

There are a large number of rules within our Company.

Never work at height without fall protection (Implied - Consequence is high)

Monthly report to be completed by 4th of the month (Important - less critical)

The Rules To Live By are there as a barrier to prevent Fatality and Serious Injury.

These are the rules that you rely upon, they must be understood and adhered to in allinstances.

Many large companies have rules such as cardinal rules, life saving rules, life preserving

rules etc - they have developed over time to drive a culture of Operational Discipline

where rules are respected and the consequences are well understood.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the session you should be able to:

Undertake hazard identification

Apply a risk assessment to hazards

Demonstrate a thorough understanding of JHA and StartSafe

Have the ability to apply these to your day-to-day work

Why do we need to manage hazards?


46/182

46

Why do we need to manage hazards?

People working in the mining industry

must deal with hazards that most

people never encounter...

Department of Minerals & Resources Publication

With this in mind, we are here today to

increase our awareness and skills in

managing the hazards and risk

associated with our industry.

Why must we change?


47/182

47

Why must we change?

Many incidents are caused by: Poor hazard identification

Inadequate management of change

Complacency

Lack of appropriate training Inadequate supervision


48/182

Hazard Identification

Hazard


49/182

Hazard

A hazard is something that has the ability to cause:

Injury or illness

Damage

Production loss



50/182

50


Ask yourself:

Do you understand the scope of works?

Have you done the task before? Familiar or unfamiliar?

Do you fully understand the sequence of events and your role?

Have you identified all energy sources?

Are you capable of completing the task? What about human error?

Will anyone else be impacted by your work?

What can go wrong?

What can hurt me?

Hazards are not always obvious. The more thorough your hazard and risk

assessment, the less likely you are to be injured!

Hazard identification


51/182

JHA

Job Hazard Analysis


90/182

90

A Job Hazard Analysis is carried out every time:

There is a change of task within a SWP

A supervisor requests that a JHA is completed

If a Certificate requires a JHA

If more than one department/company are working in an area

The work is not normally undertaken by the department/company

The work being undertaken could effect the work of others

Personnel involved can include

Task supervisor

Employees who will complete the task

Representatives from adjoining work groups

Health and Safety Representatives

When should you do a JHA?


91/182

91

JHA Steps


92/182

92

1. Establish the scope of work andthe team required

2. Define the steps required for the

task

3. Identify the hazards associated

with each step4. Establish controls already in place

for hazards if any!

5. Establish additional or new

controls required for each step

6. Seek supervisor input andapproval to commence work

JHA tips


93/182

93

Have the right team involve operators, personnel nearby, contractors,technical specialists

Have broad steps but ensure that all steps that may have hazards are

identified

Attach mud maps, diagrams, MSDSs etc

Collect data prior to commencing the JHA (MSDS, Certificates)

Put specific information in the hazards and controls area

JHA bad habits


94/182

94

Being too general with controls Not reviewing a JHA when changes occur

Not ensuring that all personnel on the job understand the JHA

Using soft controls only

Supervisors not reviewing and approving JHAs

JHA to SWP


95/182

95

JHAs can be used as reference material to develop a SWP

Wherever possible, regular tasks should be converted to SWPs

Incident Reporting

Incident Reporting


103/182

103

The Mines Safety and Inspection Act requires that all incidents are

reported to the employer

SBM requires that you report incidents immediately and if there is a

personal injury (regardless of severity) the injured person shall be taken

immediately to the SBM Medic

Incident Reporting Procedure


104/182

104

The Incident Report is managed in four sections:

Incident Details: This section details what occurred and must be completed

immediately after an incident. It should the be forwarded to the HSE Team

Investigation: The severity of the incident determines the investigation team

and time frame. Generally a Manger, Supervisor and a Health and Safety

Representative are included on the team

Corrective Actions: Actions are allocated to remedy the situation and ensurethat repeat incidents are eliminated

Review and Sign-Off: The sign-off process ensures that all appropriate

measures have been taken to ensure repeat incidents do not occur

Incident data is entered into InControl by Department Moderators

Common Causes of Incidents


106/182

106

Unsafe systems of work and unsafe workplaces

Lack of information, instruction or supervision

Staff being unfamiliar with a new work environment, machinery, materials

or tools

Lack of hazard and near miss reporting

Complacency


107/182

107

HSE Communications

Positive Attitude Safety Systems

(PASS)


108/182

108

(PASS)

PASS is a method of conducting safety meeting which encourages

proactive discussion about safety

Each work group holds a PASS meeting daily

The success of PASS meetings depends on the input received from the

workforce

The PASS Concept


109/182

109

Reflecting on the previous days activities in regards to safety and ensuring

that necessary action is initiated

Discuss and support positive behaviours of the previous day so that they

will be repeated and reinforced

Encourage employees to plan the days activities and work and:

Think, what are the hazards?

Think, what can go wrong?

Consider, what can I DO to improve safety?

Put in place controls and strategies to minimise risk and harm

Health and Safety Meetings


110/182

110

Each work area conducts regular health and safety meetings:

Daily: Pre-start and PASS meetings

Weekly: Tool Box Meetings to raise and discuss issues with the entire crew,

supervision and HSE Team

Monthly: Environment, Safety and Health Advisory Committee (ESHAC)

where safety representatives can raise unresolved issues through to St

Barbara

Safety issues should be raised immediately do not hold off until a meeting!

Safety and Health Representatives


111/182

111

Represent fellow workers in matters pertaining to health and safety

Are consulted by management about changes to the mine which may

effect health and safety

Can be present at an employees interview pertaining to a health and

safety matter
