Stakeholders and companies from the mining industry will attend the annual national mining safety and environment conference with a theme of “Culture, Care, Change” focusing on the challenges the industry experienced in minerals development around the world.
The event will run from November 19 to November 22 at the CAP, Camp John Hay Trade and Cultural Center in Baguio.
The event will focus on the industry trends and issues during the Minerals Industry Symposium, relaunching of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Mines Geoscience Bureau’s (DENR-MGB) information campaign #MineResponsibility, and the Mine Safety Field Demonstration.
The Philippine Mine Safety and Environment Association (PMSEA) organized the event. PMSEA has been the organizer of this annual conference for almost seven decades.
“We’ve prepared an array of activities that highlights mining’s best practices and commitment to mine safety and environment of member-companies,” Dr W Brown President of PMSEA said.
Dr. Brown said this year’s gathering will be an opportunity for mining companies and mining-support industries to affirm their commitment to ensuring mine and environmental safety with the social responsibility to respond to disasters such as the recent Mindanao earthquakes in mind.
“It will be lots of fun, but also full of work, as we discuss issues and concerns in mine safety and environment,” says Brown.
