KEYNOTE: The Invisible SIF
The HOP paradox that's putting miners at risk.
Your organization adopted Human and Organizational Performance (HOP). Near-miss reporting jumped 10–15%. You're collecting more data than ever. So why aren't serious injuries and fatalities dropping?
Because the "Invisible SIF" is slipping through the cracks.
The Hidden Danger in HOP Success
Recent research exposes a troubling reality: nearly one-third of near-miss reports lack effective corrective actions. Organizations see improved reporting but struggle with accountability gaps that leave critical risks unaddressed.
Join safety expert Bill Sims as he reveals how HOP's strengths can become blind spots—and shares the practical strategies mining leaders need to bridge theory with life-saving results.
What You'll Discover
The Invisible SIF phenomenon – Why increased reporting doesn't always equal increased safety
HOP's accountability gaps – Where theory fails on the front lines
Actionable improvement strategies – Turn near-miss data into preventable incidents
Real-world implementation tools – Solutions you can deploy immediately
Powered by dedicated mining professionals committed to advancing safety and health.
