Purpose
This meeting will focus on emerging health and safety issues associated with the implementation of automation and advanced technology in the U.S. metal mining industry. The meeting is designed to identify to what extent automation and smart technologies will be implemented in metal mining and in what timeframe, to identify the related emerging health & safety concerns, and to identify what gaps exist in occupational health & safety research related to automation and smart technologies.
Matters to be considered
The agenda will include updates on the state-of-the-art in mining automation and case studies on implementing automation at mine sites. The updates will be followed by panel discussions regarding:
human factors considerations
risk management
automated haulage
sensor technology
data analyticsEach panel will seek input and discuss the health and safety implications associated with these various topics, and identify gaps for further study.
