Mine Safety Workshop – Disaster Management
Jakarta, Indonesia,
14 – 16 November 2011
“First in Asia: Learn Global Mining Disaster Risk Management and Implement A Safety Process for Severe Natural Disasters!”
This 3 Day intensive workshop will draw on new concepts in Mine Site Health and Safety, and prepare you to scenarios in the event of such unforeseen circumstances.
With severe natural disasters striking mines across Australia in 2010 and 2011, including cyclones, floods and fires, it has become crucial to proactively plan for catastrophes to ensure that your mine site is equipped to withstand potential events as efficiently as possible.
During this interactive workshop you will take away:
- Engaging in historical case studies and the far-reaching implications that can arise across the mine site
- Tools to identify and utilise crucial data sources to ensure early awareness of potential issues
- How to develop a Targeted Action Response Plan for an individual mine site
- How to proactively manage catastrophes to minimise damage and protect onsite assets
- An understanding of the judicial process of overcoming the effects of a natural disaster
- Discuss some of the major disasters around the World and lessons learned from those disaster events
Our 3 Day Mine Safety Workshop will feature best practices to implement to your rescue and response program that can minimize loss of life, injury and operational cost.
The underground mining environment is hazardous and prone to several disasters including fire, roof collapse, inundation, gas leakage etc. It not only puts the life of the miners in peril but also causes extensive damage to the equipment, valuable resources and the environment. Inundation of Chasnala mines in which a large number of miners lost their lives and fire in large areas of Jharia coalfields where vast resources are burnt (and thus making a severe dent in the economy and the environment) are but some of the examples of how precious life and resources are lost in disasters in mines. World over, various technologies are being developed to mitigate these disasters but it needs to be debated whether there can be a single solution to address all these disasters.
The aim of this workshop is to brainstorm on the manmade and natural disasters occurring in the open cut and underground mines and the state of the art in addressing the above mentioned issues. The focus of the workshop will be on arriving at solutions for the safety of the miners and saving the precious but fragile environment by drawing the course of action for the development in this arena.

At least 1 killed, 1 missing in Papua, Indonesia mining accident Extract from channel 6 news JAYAPURA, INDONESIA (BNO NEWS) — At least one person was killed and another remains unaccounted for after a roof collapsed at a mining area in eastern Indonesia, a mining company in Indonesia said Tuesday.
Saturday, July 2, 2011 – China
In another accident Saturday morning, a mine in the province of Guizhou flooded as rain-soaked earth collapsed. The cave in, estimated at 7,000 cubic meters, trapped 29 workers underground while working at two shafts of the Niupeng mine in the county of Pingtang, official state news agency Xinhua reported. Eight miners made it out safely, but the remaining miners were still trapped underground.
Thursday, March 31, 2011 – Philippines
Landslides triggered by heavy rain buried some houses and mining tunnels on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao, killing at least three people and wounding two others, an army spokesman said. Landslides and flooding are a risk during the Philippines’ rainy season, which usually starts in May and lasts until September. That has been increased by illegal mining and logging in many parts of the country. Areas susceptible to landslides include shanty towns in mining areas in the northern mountains on the main island of Luzon and on the southern island of Mindanao.
