Standards Australia steering a safer, more efficient future for mining

Standards Australia is leading the way to help integrate responsible and sustainable AI practices into mining operations, while also supporting the uptake of new and existing safety standards.

As the mining sector continues to adapt to increasing efficiency and sustainability pressures, Standards Australia is set to support the upcoming Future of Mining Conference in Perth on July 2, where the latest responsible AI standards relevant the resources, mining and minerals industries will be discussed.

To help the sector improve efficiency and safety, the use of AI is becoming increasingly common. At the event, Ben Russell, Engagement Manager at Standards Australia, will share world-leading insights into responsible approaches to AI standardisation. He will join the panel discussion, “Smarter, Safer Mines – AI, Automation and Standards Practice,” alongside Prof Maureen Hassall, Director of the Minerals Industry Safety and Health Centre.

Together, they will explore the new and existing range of international and national standardisation documents essential to safe mining operations. Ben will also highlight how the industry can align with these standards while addressing the challenges of Australia’s sustainable energy transition.

Successful and sustainable mining operations depend on a strong understanding of safety, environmental, and sustainability standards. The responsible application of AI represents a new avenue and evolving area of standardisation, one the industry must adapt to in order to thrive.

The event is set to includes standardisation advice on:

• Public health and safety: Boosting safe standards in mining
• Social and community impact: Increasing mining industry involvement
• Environmental impact: Progress the energy transition using standards
• Investor proof standardisation adoption: Standards Australia and International Standardization Organisation (ISO) supplied standards remain central to mining and AI.
