Safe mining

MINING IS A SAFE AND SECURE ACTIVITY.

The safety and health of workers are top priorities for the mining sector.

Mining companies work intensively on the prevention of accidents at work through the implementation of a rigorous management system focused on continuous improvement. In addition, companies in the sector always promote a culture of prevention to ensure adequate working conditions.

In today’s mining industry, by designing appropriate safety strategies using tools to identify, communicate and manage risks applicable to all workers, companies have reduced and improved accident rates in recent years.

The COVID-19 pandemic has, in turn, meant an unprecedented effort for the sector, which has had to implement additional rigorous safety protocols and measures to prevent contagion in its facilities, by maximising hygiene and cleaning tasks and establishing work shifts to ensure distance and worker rotations. Fortunately, the mining sector in Spain has managed to maintain production and, above all, the demand for minerals, generating favourable expectations for both production and employment.

All makes mining a safe activity full of guarantees, where the latest technologies and the most complete safety standards are used.
