Exploration Drill Site Safety

About the course

This course was developed in response to overwhelming demand from mining and exploration companies conducting exploration projects. Increasing SHE requirements from mining and exploration houses has resulted in geologists and safety professionals having to make decisions about safety issues for which they are not necessarily prepared and so this program is designed to fill this very real gap.

The course is designed to provide delegates with the necessary understanding of the physical aspects of drilling, drill rig operation, capacities of drilling equipment, modes of failure and other important foundational information. The emphasis of the second day is the application of the principles learned during the first day to identify drill site hazards. 

The course is specifically designed so that the principles learned can be applied to any drilling method - diamond core drilling, rotary percussion drilling, dual tube reverse circulation drilling and sonic drilling.

Who should attend?

The course will be invaluable to anyone involved in any exploration drilling project     - exploration geologists, geology managers, project engineers, safety officers and safety managers. 

Course outline

The modules that will be covered are;
 - The relationship between the mine and the contractor
 - The Mine Health and Safety Act and its impact on exploration drilling operations
 - The principles of risk assessment
