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.

Ready to close the gap between HOP theory and mining reality?
