Past Lessons. Present Challenges. Future Opportunities.
Mining has undergone a remarkable transformation in its approach to safety over the past several decades. From an era where risk was often considered part of the job, the industry has evolved into one that places safety, wellbeing and leadership at the centre of operational success.
Join the WA Mining Club for an engaging and thought-provoking panel discussion featuring industry leaders who have witnessed this evolution firsthand and continue to shape the future of safety across the resources sector.
Together, our panel will reflect on the lessons of the past, examine the challenges facing industry today and explore what the next decade of mining safety could look like.
Discussion Topics
• How has mining safety changed over the past 20 to 30 years?
• What key events, legislation and leadership decisions have shaped today’s industry?
• Have we found the right balance between compliance and operational effectiveness?
• How are psychosocial hazards, automation and artificial intelligence changing the safety landscape?
• What role will future leaders play in continuing to improve safety performance?
• What will mining safety look like in the next decade?
Whether you are an emerging professional, operational leader or experienced industry practitioner, this event will provide valuable insights into the journey of mining safety and the opportunities that lie ahead.
