Introduction

Minerals that are extracted from below the Earth’s surface are sent to the processing stages, which consist of crushing, grinding, and washing attempts to separate the valuable minerals from their ore and gauge. Due to the nature of mining, it negatively impacts both the environment and the residents nearby. Therefore, specific issues need to be taken into consideration before mining activities commence.

Safety is also a very important issue that has to involve all the parties within the mining process. Any unpredicted events could lead to a serious accident which is not undesirable for all parties involved. For that reason, all safety rules that are implemented must be followed with no exemptions. Under the safety section, rules in the plant or working place are mandatory for every employee to follow. Employees must report any accidents and injuries to a supervisor so that there is no delay in obtaining professional help to prevent the situation getting worse.
