Here's an intriguing fact about underground mining: Did you know? Some underground mines are so extensive that they have their own climates! For example, in deep underground mines, temperatures can rise to extremely high levels due to the Earth's geothermal gradient. Miners often have to deal with temperatures that can exceed 50°C. To make the working conditions bearable, these mines use advanced cooling systems to regulate the temperature and provide fresh air. Underground mining is a fascinating field with many unique challenges and innovations! #UMSGroup #DidYouKnow #Mining #Temparature

We’ve been asked a couple of questions about how we do it and our priorities are as follows: - Driving a culture of SHEQ integration in all we do, accountability, ownership, and responsibility – own what you do. - Detailed, well entrenched, and externally certified Business Management System (SHEQ). - We set our projects up for success i.e. clear and practical governance requirements and associated resources. - Strong assurance function within the business – ongoing monitoring and measurement and implementation of remedial actions – continual improvement. In addition to the above-mentioned priorities, we also do all the “normal” stuff e.g. risk management approach, behaviour-based safety, training, participation, communication, operational control, etc. It is however important to constantly maintain SHEQ awareness in the business and provide recognition where deserved. Safety is everyone’s responsibility, but it must be led from the top. Work Safe. No compromise
Safety is not just a goal – it's a commitment. Not only have we exceeded 3 years without an LTI on the Karowe Project, but as a group and across all our projects and operations, we are proud to announce that our team has achieved a milestone of ZERO lost time injuries in a year! At UMS Group, every worker returns home safely, proving that precision and care are the foundation of our operations. #UMSGroup #WorkplaceSafety #Mining #SafetyFirst
