A strong safety culture is essential for success in the mining industry. At TRG, we understand the importance of safety in mining and are strongly committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment.
We are proud of our safety performance across many different sites. Our current safety stats include:
- LTIFR: 0
- TRIFR: 1.89
These stats reflect our unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our team members and stakeholders. Achieving zero lost time injuries and maintaining an impressive Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) is a testament to our robust safety culture, continuous training, and vigilant risk management.
Every day, our teams work tirelessly to set new benchmarks for safety in the mining and OTR tyre industry. We remain focused on maintaining and further improving these standards, ensuring that safety is always front and center.
Understanding Safety Metrics in Mining
Safety metrics are essential tools for understanding and improving workplace protection. Two key indicators provide insight into a mining operation’s safety performance:
- TRIFR (Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate): Measures the number of recordable injuries per one million hours worked.
- LTIFR (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate): Tracks injuries that result in lost work time per one million hours worked.
Having safety protocols for mining tyres is evidently important; however, to keep a mine site completely safe, there are a few more practices to consider.
Safety in Mining Operations: Key Practices for Mine Sites
Mining is an inherently risky industry, but implementing strong safety practices can significantly reduce the potential for accidents and injuries.
Here are some of the most essential safety measures that every mine site should prioritise:
Comprehensive Training Programs
Proper training is the foundation of mine safety. All personnel, from new hires to experienced workers, should undergo regular safety training sessions. These programs should cover equipment operation, hazard recognition, and emergency procedures.
Regular Equipment Maintenance
Well-maintained equipment is vital. Mining operations should implement a maintenance schedule for all machinery and tools used on-site. This includes regular inspections, timely repairs, and promptly replacing worn-out parts. This could help prevent mechanical failures that could lead to accidents.
Effective Communication Systems
Establish strong communication networks throughout the site, ensuring that workers can quickly alert others in case of emergencies. This may include two-way radios, emergency alarms, and clearly marked evacuation routes.
TRG: Leading the Way in Safety and Tyre Management
We’re committed to ensuring that our safety efforts across Australia consistently improve. At the end of the day, nothing is more important than ensuring that every worker returns home safely.
