Entendendo e mitigando os acidentes ampliados na mineração: aplicação de modelo teórico-conceitual para gerenciamento de risco

Abstract

Recurring major accidents have raised questions over best practices in mining. The largeness of the damage and the resonance of the victims’ voices raised doubts about the sustainability of mining processes. Is possible mining in a responsible and productive way? What would be the roles and responsibilities of the protagonists and assistants in the pitiful scenes? Therefore, a study that seeks to rescue the idea of mining major accidents is relevant to try to answer these questions. At the methodological level, a theoretical-conceptual application model will be adopted regarding risk management techniques and analysis of past accidents. The findings will show that it is possible to have responsible, productive mining and that its damage, if any, can be mitigated.
