Protecting lives and minimizing risk

At BBE, protecting lives and minimizing risk in mining emergencies are top priorities. When disaster strikes underground, an effective emergency response can be the difference between life and death. Yet, in numerous emergency response preparedness audits, BBE often identified gaps in most emergency response procedures that could lead to unnecessary injuries, fatalities, and risks for responders. Ineffective emergency protocols can prevent rescue, expose workers to further hazards, and place rescue teams in life-threatening situations. BBE offers specialist, risk-based interventions to identify and manage critical controls for emergency response to ensure emergency responses are as robust and effective. With a mine-specific tailored approach, BBE strengthens emergency response plans with preventative and mitigating critical controls that address specific risks.
