Abstract
Mining industry has a reputation for being a risky business, with health and safety risks that are varied and often quite serious, so it is important for miners to protect accordingly. Nevertheless, mining doesn’t have to be unsafe. Introduction of strict safety rules and procedures, as well as advanced safety equipment, the mining industry has seen its fatality rate drop over time. To be successful, best practices in any organization must be deeply ingrained into the corporate culture and supported from top management on down through the ranks. This is especially important in mining and other high-risk industries where safety awareness and consistency are essential in helping to prevent accidents, injuries and fatalities.

Sasa mine works on continuous improvement of H&S conditions by introducing a variety control and improvement tools, through an open process that never ends, using “we can always do better” approach.
Key words: health and safety, risk management, good practice, mining
