BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil - New safety standards being drawn up by a global mining industry panel will include rules to better define management accountability after Vale SA’s January tailings dam disaster, a top industry official said on Wednesday.
“The engineers know what they’re doing with these things but the implementation and the management and the change management, that all involves humans,” Butler told Reuters in an interview in Brazil. The dam rupture in the town of Brumadinho killed nearly 250 people, sparking a push to establish global rules for building and inspection of such facilities, which contain the muddy detritus from mining iron ore, gold, copper and other minerals.
“You’ve got to make sure you transfer that knowledge and I think the industry recognizes that’s a critical part of it we haven’t been getting right,” Butler said.
