摘要

加纳金矿有限公司(GGL)的Tarkwa矿(TM)采用堆浸技术进行露天采矿作业。作为一个矿井,它在作业中容易受到健康和安全风险的影响。尽管在TM制定了健康和安全政策和条例,但据报告,在雇员中发生了一些与工作有关的伤害、事故和疾病。会不会是员工不了解健康安全政策法规?为了回答这个问题,本文试图审查员工对健康和安全政策和法规的认识水平,提供信息的媒介的适用性以及向员工提供的健康和安全信息的质量。通过分析从问卷管理中获得的雇员答复,评估了对健康和安全政策和法规的认识程度及其提供信息的媒介的适宜性,同时利用内部通讯、小册子、通知和告示牌的信息内容评估了信息的质量。调查发现,由于良好的信息提供方式和媒介,大多数员工都非常了解健康和安全政策法规。提供了改善GGL TM信息提供的各种方法,以减少健康和安全风险。关键词:信息提供,意识,风险,健康安全管理

Information Management of Health and Safety at the Tarkwa Mine of Goldfields Ghana Limited
The Tarkwa Mine (TM) of Goldfields Ghana Limited (GGL) undertakes open pit mining operations with gold recovery by heap leach technology. As a mine, it is susceptible to health and safety risks in its operations. In spite of health and safety policy and regulations put in place at the TM, there have been reported cases of some job-related injuries, accidents and diseases among the employees. Could it be that the employees are not aware of the health and safety policy and regulations? To answer this question, this paper sought to examine the level of employees’ awareness of the health and safety policy and regulations, the suitability of the medium of information provision and the quality of information given to the employees on health and safety. The level of awareness of, and the suitability of the medium of information provision on, health and safety policy and regulations were assessed by analysing employees’ responses obtained from questionnaire administration while the quality of information was assessed using the content of information from internal newsletters, brochures, notices and sign boards. It was found that majority of the employees are very much aware of the health and safety policy and regulations because of good mode and medium of information provision. Various ways of improving information provision at the TM of GGL to reduce health and safety risks have been provided. Keywords : Information Provision, Awareness, Risk, Health and Safety Management
