The Minerals Council in associations with SANIRE, AMMSA and SACMA today hosted the Fall of Ground Action Plan Day of Learning 2024.
This year we explored diverse strategies to tackle FoG fatalities, featuring ground-breaking solutions like exoskeletons, drilling guides, illumination, and permanent hanging wall support in stopes.
