Abstract: This study aims to determine and assess the optimal use of health and safety management system (HSMS) elements and practices to understand how to best manage and execute a safety system within mining. Interviews and focus groups will occur with mine health and safety managers of various mining commodities and take no more than 60 minutes of respondents' time. Data will be coded using HSMS elements and practices as categorizing mechanisms. Data will be used to provide suggestions to mine health and safety operators and industry about best practices in HSMS implementation and evaluation.
