Systematic Risk Assessment and

Mitigation by Applying Asset Integrity
Management – A Case Study
 AIM Process – Identification of Major Accident Hazards
The first task was to identify the major accident hazards. The major accident
hazards are those unplanned event with escalation potential for multiple fatalities
and/or serious damage to the asset and possibly beyond the asset itself. The same
was done by referring to various reports like Quantitative risk analysis, hazard and
operability studies, process and instrumentation diagrams, emergency
response plans and risk registers etc. The international database of
accidents for similar types of facilities was also referred. The identification of the
major accident hazards was done for each of the six installations.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations from Mining Breakout

1. Safety has to include not only the workplace

but all public and private sectors as well.
Therefore VISION ZERO should adress
kindergarten, school, university and private
life.
Recommendations from Mining Breakout

2. We should make clear that committment to

VISION ZERO is not a question of investment
and spending money for a project. Successful
prevention requires belief and attitude and in
fact will save money.
Recommendations from Mining Breakout

3. The balance between compliance oriented

prevention and culture oriented prevention
should be made clear.
Recommendations from Mining Breakout

4. An important behaviour for managers and

workers for VISION ZERO is not to look away:

« If you see something – say something »

Recommendations from Mining Breakout

5. VISION ZERO is the responsibility of owners,

employers, managers and all workers. All
human beings in the enterprise must be
committed and involved. Families of workers
should be involved as well as they are
concerned.
Recommendations from Mining Breakout

6. Machinery suppliers have as well to be

involved in the VISION ZERO: OEMs deliver
too often incomplete machines – safety device
must be installed by customers or extra-paid.
Mining customers should speak with one
voice to the suppliers worldwide!
Recommendations from Mining Breakout

7. There is a need to further develop the

perception of RISK-ASSESSMENT from
bureaucratic burden to a mangement tool for
managers. This includes the use of short-time
risk management tools like « TAKE 5 ».
Recommendations from Mining Breakout

8. Especially in India the lack of compentence

and skills of the workers is a big safety issue
as well. Therefore it is recommended
 to develop the dual vocational training
 to intensify regular training of all
stakeholders at workplaces and to improve
the quality
 to introduce a obligatory training for
beginners
Recommendations from Mining Breakout

9. A VISION ZERO internet platform to share

knowledge, news, experiences is
recommended.
Recommendations from Mining Breakout

10.Though participants are convinced that India

should start a broad implementation of the
VISION ZERO now, there is uncertainty who
and how it could be done.
Recommendations from Mining Breakout

11.Bigger advanced companies should play an

important role to spread their safety culture to
SME´s and contractors. Subcontractors need a
specific focus. A specific safety-package for
this group is suggested.
