Take Two… SLAM Risks
Stop Isolate each step in a task and identify past and potential accidents, injuries, and violations.Measure Evaluate the risks associated with the task and barriers that have allowed hazards to cause injuriesAct Implement controls to minimize or eliminate any hazards that make the risk unacceptableReview Conduct frequent work site visits to observe work practices and audit accidents, injuries, and violations to identify root causesTrain Develop a human factor-based action plan and then involve and train the miners
The majority of fatal accidents have these common root causes
•Failure to identify hazards
•Failure to manage risks
SLAM Risks the SMART Way!Miners:
Mine Operators:
Stop Think through the taskLook Identify the hazards for each job stepAnalyze Determine if you have the proper knowledge, training, and toolsManage Remove or control hazards and use proper equipment
Make the RIGHT Decision!
