Introduction


The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) is re-establishing the popular Minesafe International conference series in conjunction with the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia and WA Department of Mines and Petroleum.

This conference series is designed to ensure that health and safety within the resources industry maintains an appropriate and ever-increasing position of awareness. The conference will be inclusive of all sectors in the resources industry (minerals, oil and gas).

This conference will provide the opportunity for Australian and international key health and safety practitioners to discuss their findings/research, network and share their achievements and challenges in one of the great mining hubs in the world – Perth, Western Australia.

The Minesafe International 2017 – The Resource Industry Health & Safety Conference organising committee invites you to be part of this inaugural conference.
