Fatality Prevention
The health and wellbeing, including psychosocial and mental health, of the mining workforce is the industry’s number one priority. The MCA is taking active steps to provide guidance and resources in this space.
The MCA, in collaboration with its member companies, has conducted a deep dive into 20 years of safety data. This research has uncovered critical new insights into preventing fatalities across the Australian mining sector.
While progress has been made in identifying high-potential risks, the findings make clear that a shift in thinking is needed to ensure zero fatalities.
To support this transformation, the MCA Fatality Prevention Project was established in partnership with leading safety experts from across the industry. The project has translated the research into practical communication tools that can be used on sites and across organisations.
These resources include:
- Detailed PowerPoint presentations to help safety professionals apply the research to company and site-level practices
- Posters, dynamic whiteboard assets and short video presentations for use in inductions, toolbox talks and broader safety programs
Accessing the resources:
- MCA members can access the full suite of resources via the Member Portal.
- Non-members are invited to reach out for information using the enquiry form below.
Together, we can build a safer future for Australia’s mining industry.
