ICMM 2012 health & safety conference report now available
Common theme: Companies must put people first
The International Council on Mining & Minerals (ICMM) has released the report of the Health and Safety Conference held in Santiago, Chile, in November 2012. The conference brought together 19 companies, over 300 delegates and five chief executives to share lessons and learn from each other. Based on its proceedings, and enriched by in-depth interviews and post-conference feedback, the report highlights the importance of collaboration, culture and leadership.
A common message, heard throughout the 19 sessions that took place, was that to successfully ensure the well-being of employees, contractors, their families and their communities, companies must put people first. It is people’s well-being that drives efforts to improve health and safety performance in ICMM, whose members have committed to seek continual improvement.
