What role does a Mining Operations Strategy play?

In a growing yet volatile marketplace, it’s abundantly clear that the security of your business assets is crucial. Security risk assessments, the management of those risks, and their significance to the business are key in ensuring its safety. However, some businesses view security risk consultancy as risk itself.

At Gravity Risk Consultants, we alleviate those concerns by providing an informed perspective to security risk assessment and security consultancy in our all-encompassing mining operations strategy.

Businesses are apprehensive of security risk consultants due to undelivered promises, an ever-changing assessment of what risk is, and/or being unable to understand the business itself. In a country like South Africa, potential risks and threats can be viewed almost everywhere and, depending on location, are ever-changing. 

“Threats evolve over time.  A risk assessment performed yesterday might have very different results if performed tomorrow.”- Donn B. Parker 

The reality though, is that risk is the basic metric in security understanding. Risk assessments will help mine operators identify high, medium and low-risk levels, a requirement of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000. Risk assessments will help prioritise the risks and provide information on the need to safely control the risks. According to the NSW Government, this is how mine owners and operators will be able to implement safety protocols. 

Not only do we have a proactive perspective towards risk assessment but we fully immerse ourselves in understanding the unique needs and services of our clients. We offer international standard services to mines with a hard focus on providing an optimal strategy to security risk consultancy and management. Our complete mining operations strategy includes:

We are fully aware of the magnitude of considering the operations of a mine and how it needs to cover all areas. From the security of the business, its legislature compliance, to the growth of the mine itself, our extensive mining operations strategy has taken all of this into consideration and will provide you with an informed strategy that will afford you and your business peace of mind.
