The 2017 Australian Mine Ventilation Conference, held in Brisbane, Australia, from 28–30 August, aimed to remedy the deficiencies in our current knowledge around management of health and safety risks. It's aim was to encourage the exchange of knowledge and operational experiences in mine ventilation management and to enable debate of time honoured standards, and associated practical and implementable controls.
The biennial conference provides a large and representative group of delegates from all spheres a space to meet, talk, listen and think about the administrative, technical and engineering problems within mine ventilation management.
The suggestions, practices and recommendations made during the conference should be scrutinised with further discussion to promote innovative operational practices and improvements in mine health and safety.
