WORK PROGRAMS
Health and safety
ICMM members are committed to continuous improvement of their health and safety performance as described in Principle 5 of ICMM's Sustainable Development Framework.
Poor mine safety performance has a direct impact on workers, their families and communities on the mining industry and on government. A co-ordinated, targeted approach is required if safety performance is to be improved and benefits realized.
