Industry Sharing with Industry


In continuing with the desire from industry to share in key learnings from site-related incidents and following on from the themes of previous conferences, this session will be an open forum from people (within the industry) who will be talking about key issues and challenges faced at times on their site.

This session will be a grass roots session without “spin”. A simple presentation outlining what occurred and what changes have been implemented to ensure that things are being done differently. It is for you to consider the relevance to your site and determine if you have a similar exposure, and the controls in place to reasonably preclude a similar event.

Facilitator: Damien Wynn, General Manager and Senior Site Executive, AngloAmerican – Grasstree Mine

Paul Stephan, General Manager and SSE, Anglo American Moranbah North Mine
