To Whom It May Concern
14 Months ago the KIS Safety Risk Management System
was introduced to the Central Norseman Gold Harlequin Underground Mine. This
came about as we had decided to change from contract mining to owner operator
and we needed a simple but comprehensive programme to replace the contractor's
system.
After reviewing a number of alternatives we chose
the KIS Safety Risk Management System as it met all our criteria along with the
approval of the Mines Inspectorate.
The Systems implementation was comprehensive and we
involved all of our underground employees in our operation in its design and
application. Our people find it easy to use and are continually coming up with
safety improvement ideas.
The KIS Safety Risk Management System allows us to
verify and formally record our operators ongoing skills and competencies in a
structured way and assists us to promote safety, financial and environmental
awareness daily.
I have found the System to be inexpensive to
implement and operate. It requires only 8 to 10 hours of my administrative time
per month and places the responsibility of managing a safe work place with
everyone - not just the Safety & Training Officer.
Since its introduction we have recorded a dramatic
reduction in Lost Time & Medically Treated Injuries plus reduced damage to our
equipment & plant.
I have no hesitation in recommending the KIS Safety
Risk Management System to any business and I am available for verbal
confirmation of the above via telephone on (08) 9039 9903.
Yours sincerely
