HUMAN error leading to injuries and fatalities at mine sites will lead a debate at The Safety Conference, to be held in Sydney from 28 October 2008.
Canadian author, Larry Wilson, says human error is to blame for 99% of acute injuries and fatalities, and identifying behaviour under stress will prevent accidents.
On the other hand, Australia’s Roger Kahler of the InterSafe Group, says such “myths” are simply delaying the progress of mine safety.
Kahler will head a three-day workshop focusing on stress management and communication abilities after conference to promote mine safety.
The Safety Conference will run from 28 to 30 October 2008 at the Sydney Showground, and will run concurrently with The Safety Show Sydney [http://www.thesafetyshow.com].
