MINExpo 2024 Industry Forum
EMESRT is hosting industry forums on Wednesday 25 September 2024 during MINExpo, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

Forum schedule:
Time: 9:00 - 10:30
Presenter: Tony Egan
Industry issue: Vehicle interaction control improvement
Mining industry fatality experience tells us that no organisation has reliably sustained vehicle interaction management. Since its formation, EMESRT has led and participated in industry-level initiatives with the common goal of improving the effectiveness and reliability of vehicle interaction controls in mining. What have we learned, and how can the industry leverage from this body of knowledge?
Time: 11:00 - 12:30
Presenter: Mark Geerssen
Industry issue: Mobile equipment fire management improvement
Despite ongoing improvements, there is still a high incidence of mobile equipment fires in both surface and underground mining equipment. There is a need for the hazards to be controlled through appropriate designs and management practices. In turn, regulators are requiring mandatory statutory reporting in most mining jurisdictions and now expect that mine operators will improve their mobile equipment fire management performance. What have we learned, and how can the industry leverage from this body of knowledge?
Time: 13:30 - 15:00
Presenters: Tony Egan and Sara Pazell
Industry issue: Tyre and rim hazard management improvement
Mining operations rely heavily on the use of large mobile equipment, which includes trucks, loaders, excavators, attachments, etc. The equipment plays a crucial role in the extraction and transportation of valuable minerals. However, one of the significant challenges faced in the mining industry is the effective management of tyre and rim hazards. What have we learned, and how can the industry leverage from this body of knowledge?
