PROJECTS
HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria
The mining and metals industry has significant exposure to HIV/AIDS in its workforce in some parts of the world. Several ICMM members are acknowledged world leaders in addressing HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
In many countries where these diseases are not currently prominent, they may well become so in future - the sharing of good practice will help companies in minimizing their potential impacts.
What is ICMM doing?
ICMM has put together a guidance publication that provides mining and metals company managers with practical information for disease management.
Published in August 2008, this publication outlines and advocates an integrated approach to the three diseases, and is aligned with standards and systems currently in general use by ICMM members.
What will our work achieve?
By compiling leading practice from international bodies, other industry sectors and ICMM members, we hope to have an excellent resource that will assist companies to improve their performance and integrate their activities on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. It will also be relevant to non-members and to other industry sectors.
