Beyond compliance – Leading the human side of risk in mining - Presented by DSS+

From boardroom to frontline – how modern leaders are reshaping what safety really means in mining today.

Safety in mining is more than metrics and compliance – it’s about leadership, decisions and the human impact of managing risk. This session combines a Leadership Master Class with a real-world operational risk use case, showing how courageous, connected leadership can transform culture using safety as a catalyst for change.  
Participants will explore examples for leading the human side of risk, coaching and empowering teams, and embedding accountability and care across operations. Through a practical example of high-potential risk containment, attendees will see how immediate interventions, field engagement, and leadership presence drive measurable results. Leave with actionable strategies to move beyond compliance to conviction, and lead safer, more resilient mining operations.
