The International Council of Mining and Metals (ICMM) presents Leadership Matters – Managing Fatal Risk Guidance, a new publication focusing on the pro-active actions and behaviours that may be exercised by managers of operations and site leadership teams to help eliminate the risk of fatalities. It urges leaders to set the tone and direction of ‘what is important’ through visible and felt leadership and presents a series of self-diagnostic prompts – built around a risk management framework – to help identify gaps in safety management systems.
The report should be read in conjunction with ICMM’s earlier report aimed at Chief Executives and corporate leaders – Leadership matters: The elimination of fatalities.
Both reports provide checklist-based advice on three key themes:
- Live the vision of zero fatalities
- Focus on high potential events
- Recognise the fallibility of people and systems.
