WHAT PEOPLE SAY
—Jordyn Aitken, HSE Systems Manager ALLTECH
"I never expected an online training to be so energetic and interactive, but I didn’t feel at all like we were missing anything by not being in a classroom. So many great takeaways for me (as is evidenced by my copious notes taken), and I leave the training feeling inspired with plenty of food for thought. Really brilliant training, and I wish I’d taken it sooner! So thanks to you all for everything."

- Exploring what risk assessment looks like in different parts of the organisation. e.g. front line tool box talk; project; board room.
- Engage your stakeholders through risk workshops (including the use of facilitation tools to identify, analyse and assess risks)
- Provide clarity on how to develop, implement, monitor and review risk controls.
OUTCOMES
- Developing and using risk appetite and tolerance. Applying this to case studies such as tailings dams.
- Learning to embed risk within standard reporting and how to create a risk report that means something.
- Establishing a framework to implement a comprehensive risk management system, including roles and responsibilities, policies, procedures and system guides
- Providing a future vision on risk management and the main means of development for it based on the current global context within mining and beyond.
