Key Assessment Indicators for Safety in Mineral Processing Plant
Abstract
Mineral processing plants are an important element of the overall process of extraction and processing of mineral raw materials. They combine different technologies, various types of production equipment, operate with high capacities and generally observe a rather complex technological process. Working in such an enterprise requires good knowledge of technologies, and coordination between engineering staff and management, which should correspond to the management of processes and personnel in order to achieve optimal results. This complex nature creates safety risks and is a prerequisite for the occurrence of accidents at work as well as material damage. The regular performance of safety audits aims to monitor the level of safety assurance at the mineral processing plant and the organisation of the work process. The aim of the report is to state the key indicators for safety of this system, to analyse incident prevention measures and to recommend health and safety procedures in similar types of industrial facilities. The article is based on engineering experience and good practices from the mining industry.
