You, and a few others are exactly right. Have an in-house investigation to determine the cause of death.
Sometimes it is because certain safety rules were not followed. I’d that is the case, a re-emphasis needs to be made.
If it was because of negligent supervision, maybe the supervisor needs to be disciplined or fired.
Sometimes the employee did something stupid, which is often the case, use his death as a point of emphasis.
Finally, mining is an inherently dangerous business and sometimes shit just happens that no one could have foreseen.
thanks
a long time ago, like maybe in another life, I worked for AIG. This was before the company got into guaranteeing mortgages. Back then, the company prided itself on its engineering department. We bid on risks like oil refineries and oil tankers based (A) on risk abatement and (B) rate.
I love the firemen and nurses, and all those who put their lives on the line in their work. Thank God for each and every one of them. We certainly need them more than Harvard Business School.
