We have published a new guideline on Autonomous mining equipment about the risks that must be identified and controlled in adopting autonomous mining equipment.
Since the introduction of mechanisation in the mid-20th century, workers have been exposed to the hazards arising from operating or working in close proximity to mining machinery. The risks posed by mechanisation have continued to evolve as larger and more complex machines have been introduced. The introduction of autonomous mining equipment, while reducing risks to some workers, will expose other workers to additional and different risks. Read the full guideline here (PDF, 338.58 KB)
