Getting your mine site up to scratch, to meet MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) or Department of Mines and Petroleum inspections can be a lot of work.

But how do you easily and cost effectively improve mine safety communication?

HOW TO IMPROVE SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE

By Jack Rubinger, jarubinger@graphicproducts.com, 503-469-3024

Safety in the workplace is easy to neglect but the price of doing so can be high. Think increased Worker’s Comp and debilitating injuries. Certain procedures have been proven to increase workplace safety. So if you’re serious about safety, conduct an Industrial Facility Safety Audit at your workplace.  One reason?

Visual Communication

Good signage can help keep work environments safe in mines and quarries.

By Martin Carter

No matter how well a mine or quarry has attended to safety, going through a Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), or WorkSafe BC inspection is a bear.
Why? Because a safe working environment is the mine site’s responsibility — even if headquarters is in Canada, Australia, or the United States.

Safety and budget-conscious mines like Barrick, headquartered in Toronto; Teck Coal with headquarters in Vancouver and operations in Hinton, Sparwood, Elkford, and Millertown; and Rio Tinto with a head office in Montreal, Quebec, all create safety labels on-site with thermal transfer printers — satisfying both CSA and WorkSafe BC— to keep operations running smoothly.
