Mining Industry accident statistics by region South Africa Australia Brazil 4. Mn industry accident statistics Accidents from moving vehicles - IMnI survey results Direct cost implications Indirect cost implication 5. Conclusions * Accident classification - where does moving vehicle rank?

Introduction: Aims & Objectives Introduction: In our industry there is constant movement of mining trucks, dump truck (or dumper), front loaders etc. And for smelters - forklifts or excavators. The movement of such equipment is considered high risk as accidents involving these equipment easily lead to fatalities Aim: Industry s aim should be to attain the 0 incident target Objectives: To have an accident reduction strategy in place and ensure that it is followed The investigate all accidents to determine the root cause(s), to utilize and share the information with the mining community and others for the purpose of preventing similar occurrences To identify near-misses and put corrective measures in place IMnI 4

Some definitions Frequency rate : No. Of accidents x 1.000.000/Hours worked (workers hours of exposure to risk) Severity rate: Total time (days lost) x 1.000.000/Hours worked Fatality Rate Total number of deaths x 100.00/total job in industry (or in your company) Accidents Any event that led to a detrimental effects on workers/people, environment, production or property whatever the severity is IMnI 5

Classification of accidents types EU Stats (heavy Industry overall) The European statistical office (Eurostat) publishes data in as standardised a form for fatal injury at work across the EU 15 The EU-15 comprises Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK For the 2012/2013 data it concluded that over half the fatal injuries to workers were of three kinds: falls from height; contact with moving machinery; and being struck by a vehicle About 13% of reported major injuries and 11% of over sevenday injuries involved contact with moving machinery/vehicles IMnI 7

Classification of accident types USA Classification (Mining industry) The USA has a fatal alert bulletins and fatalgrams are part of the Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) program to alert the mining industry in a timely manner of a tragic loss of life in the mines In this report (s), based on the number of accidents reported since 2012 to present, the most frequent accidents are from - 1. Falls, trips and slips 2. Power Haulage which includes motors and rail cars, conveyors, belt feeders, longwall conveyors, bucket elevators, vertical manlifts, self-loading scrapers or pans, shuttle cars, haulage trucks, front-end loaders, load-haul- dumps, forklifts, cherry pickers, mobile cranes if traveling with a load, etc. 3. Explosives IMnI 8

Mining industry accident statistics by region South Africa The Chamber of mines is in charge of reporting industry fatalities and produces safety performance reports yearly Below are the 2009 and 2010 fatality results per commodity and the 2010 fatality classification Commodity 2009 Jan Sept 2010 Gold 59 44 Platinum 38 25 Coal 9 9 Other 24 18 Total 130 96 *where FOG= Falls of ground ( 39%) and TMM (Trackless mobile machines) + RB (Rail bound transport) + MAC (Machinery) = 31% IMnI 10

Claims per 1000 employees Mining industry accident statistics by region Australia Safe Work Australia monitors, records and reports mining industry fatalities. It considers being hit by moving objects 3 rd in its classification after body stress & fall, trips and slips Below are the results of serious incidence rates by year: 2000-2011 40 30 20 10 0 2000 01 2001 02 2002 03 2003 04 2004 05 2005 06 Mining 29,8 30,6 27,5 26,4 24,9 19,9 20,9 19,9 16,4 16,4 14,6 14,2 All Industries 17,5 16,9 16,5 16,4 16,0 15,1 14,5 14,2 13,6 13,1 12,7 12,2 2006 07 2007 08 2008 09 2009 10 2010 11 2011 12p IMnI 11

Mining industry accident statistics by region Brazil The Brazilian Mining Association [Instituto Brasileiro de Mineração IBRAM] is the national entity that represents the mining industry in Brazil. It seeks to improve on sustainable development and the use of better OHES practices in mining, by means of good practices, supporting research & development and the use of the best available technologies Below are the results of fatality rates by mineral class: 2006-2011 IMnI 12

Mn Industry accident statistics Survey Results

Any other comment, suggestion or feedback. There are regular audits conducted on regular basis by Safety Officers and the company have appointed mechanics as vehicle inspectors to ensure none of the vehicles used on the mine have defects The vehicle operator is compelled to fill-in the pre-use inspection checklist. Operators are also allowed to refuse operating a vehicle with serious defects identified Defects are classified in two categories : 1) "no-go = do not use the equipment or stop using it immediately 2) "go-but" = operators can use the vehicle and the identified defect must be fixed within 48 hours

Mn industry accident statistics Direct cost implications Direct cost implications are normally short term and not very high but instill fear in workers. This could include: Days lost of work Medical expenses Fines Etc IMnI 23

Mn industry accident statistics Indirect cost implications Indirect cost implications are normally very high and could include the following: Loss of materials Loss of equipment High insurance premium Industry/company image Loss of production Loss of market share Criminal/law suit expenses IMnI 25

Conclusions The aim is to develop a robust accident reduction strategy aiming as ZERO ACCIDENTS Zero accidents will demonstrate a commitment to social responsibility It is important to understand how and why an accident occurred in other to avoid occurrence Share information on good practises Works together towards a better image for the mining industry IMnI 26
