Our Comprehensive Occupational Safety and Health team, led by Rocío Núñez and Carlos Cuello, successfully completed the delivery of the course “G3- Risk management systems for managers”, taught to the management of the mining company Nexa Resources in the city of Lima, Peru.
This course is part of the Global Minerals Industry Risk Management (G-MIRM) program, developed by the Minerals Industry Safety and Health Centre (MISHC) of the Sustainable Minerals Institute at The University of Queensland, and is regularly updated to reflect the latest developments in safety, health, and risk management in mining.
On this occasion, 17 professionals from Nexa Resources—mine directors, project directors, superintendents, and managers—received five days of training aimed at driving a significant shift in the safety culture within their operations. This will foster more effective decision-making and strengthen their understanding and practice of risk management.
“The fundamental philosophy of this course,” explains Rocío Núñez, “is based on the idea that failures occur when known controls for known risks are not implemented; that to prevent fatalities, we must ensure these controls are implemented, monitored, maintained, and effective; and that it focuses on a small number of the most critical or important controls, because less is more.”
