So you finished your BBRA/whole-of-mine Risk Assessment? You're at just the beginning of your journey! Your entire Safety and Health Management System comes from the BBRA. Stick to this and you should be compliant - no matter which jurisdiction you come under.
Your response to the Inspector, your BBRA, and your Management Structure must all tell the same story. If they don't, you aren't just failing a paperwork exercise - you’re failing your legislative obligations.
The Chief Inspector’s recent request for PHMP and Critical Control data isn't just a data-gathering exercise - it’s a test of your site’s internal consistency.
The ICMM Critical Control framework spells out how to identify, implement and verify critical controls, but it has one huge blindspot - that is, the competency of the people who develop & maintain this process. That’s where My Competency Expert can help.
A role should be included in the management structure whenever it carries supervisory responsibilities or influences the implementation of the Safety and Health Management System (SHMS).
The Role Resilience Report is a powerful new feature in My Competency Expert, designed to help organizations build stronger succession plans and ensure business continuity when key roles become vacant—whether due to unexpected departures, planned retirements, or long-term contingency needs.
On-the-job working experience should be a key component of the competency requirements for positions on your s.55 Management Structure. My Competency Expert developed a process we call "TREx" (Time-based Record of Experience). We're releasing our guide to TREx today - in the interest of sharing best-practices in mining Safety & Risk.
