Four million people-hours without recordable injuries at Las Bambas

Our people are empowered to stop a task and advise a supervisor if the task cannot be carried out safely, or, to intervene to protect the health or wellbeing of everyone or the environment in which they work.

 

Preventing incidents is a mindset for all MMG employees. What matters gets measured, and the Las Bambas Mine Operations Department recorded a very welcome safety milestone in 2022 by accumulating four million people-hours while mining 230 million tonnes over 514 days without recording injuries. Las Bambas’ Mine Operations Manager, Rafael Ponce de León, said that many factors returned this robust safety record, including the mine’s Occupational Safety and Health Management System, policies, values, standards, training procedures and preventive tools such as ‘Stop and Think’, ‘Raise Your Hand’ and heeding MMG’s first value – ‘We Think Safety First’. Drilling, blasting, loading, hauling, and use of explosives and giant mobile equipment are daily high-risk mining activities.

 

Las Bambas is proud of this very welcome safety record while stressing the ongoing efforts required by every employee to maintain an injury-free workplace.
