RISK ASSESSMENT IN MINING INDUSTRY: APPLY MANAGEMENT

Global dynamics of the technological changes creates a need for modern approaches while evaluating and analyzing the risk in the mining industry. Analyzing and managing technical systems in the mining industry is a key factor concerning the quality of their functioning. Dependability, safety, and maintenance management based on the risk analysis can contribute substantially to the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the mining technological systems. Besides applying adequate technology, organizing and harmonizing the system links among various structures and standardization is of the great importance in achieving business goals. The choice and use of the optimal solutions in the analysis ought to recognize, anticipate, forestall, reduce, and minimize the risk and possible destructive applications. A realistic view of the present state in the risk analysis shows the need for the rapid transformation in the mining industry. The study puts forward a proposal for the possible approaches and improvement relating to the following and implementing modern, standardized world trends, (models and methods) concerning the analysis of the technical aspect risk in some of the basic processes in the mining industry. This work was created as a result of research which was conducted during 2004-2008. in process of surface exploitation and coil refinement in Serbian mining industry.
