Critical Control Management for Mine Site Supervisors and Managers

Who we consulted with

The consultation was open to individuals with proven experience in mine site supervision, risk and safety management or regulatory compliance. The input received will directly influence how supervisory roles are understood, trained for and supported across the industry.

Supervisors are responsible for carrying out risk management processes and conducting safety and health investigations at an operational level. These units focus on the practical application of risk management principles and compliance with mining safety legislation in day-to-day site supervision.

Superintendents are responsible for implementing and maintaining safety and health management systems. These units focus on overseeing risk controls, monitoring hazards and ensuring risk management principles are embedded in site operations.

Managers are responsible for establishing and maintaining risk management systems at a strategic level. These units focus on leadership of safety and health management systems, mine management responsibilities and driving a culture of risk management across the organisation.
