Mining

JTA’s team has over 35 years of experience working with the mining industry. Due to the high risk nature of mining work and the transient nature of the FIFO workforce, mining companies have a range of different legislative requirements to consider. 

Mining Issues

Despite significant improvements in health and safety over the last decade, the mining industry still has one of the highest rates of fatalities of any industry. Inherent risks associated with working in the mining industry include body stressing, manual handling and musculoskeletal disorders, slips trips and falls, being hit by moving objects or machinery and working with high risk plant.

Specific Services For Mining

Noise

Noisy environments need to have an Occupational Noise Assessment every five years. The assessment must be accompanied by Audiometric Testing to monitor worker’s hearing for noise related deafness every two years. All our hearing tests are performed onsite ensuring minimal downtime and disruption to your operation.

JTA has taken the next step in leading the industry by incorporating state of the art dosimetry equipment into our noise assessments. These new dosimeters can do all of the functions standard dosimeters can but with some valuable extra capabilities such as recording octave band data, audio, high vibration levels, statistical noise levels and all while being intrinsically safe.
