Root Cause Analysis - methods and best practiceMedgate Inc.
A critical part of any safety management system comes after incidents occur. Effective incident investigation including root cause analysis can provide many answers for your organization regarding why an incident or event has occurred. Even if your safety department excels at completing investigations and undertaking corrective actions, your SMS will not be effective if you fail to identify root causes quickly and accurately.
Safety teams that make Root Cause Analysis central to their day-to-day activities will significantly improve their ability to better the safety of the workplace and ensure that incidents do no reoccur.
In these slides, Medgate Safety expert Shannon Crinklaw discusses Root Cause Analysis, outlining its potential impact, covering different analysis methodologies and outlining best practices.
To view the accompanying webinar, go to http://bit.ly/X518oY where you will learn:
What type of incidents are most common.
Mistakes that organizations should avoid when carrying out root cause analysis.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

4. Crisis Management
Introduction
An emergency can be defined as an unforeseen incident /
accident requiring prompt action. Mine emergencies occur
unscheduled and include events such as fires, explosions,
entrapments, and inundations. Familiarization with a contingency
plan for emergency operations is important to ensure effective
emergency operations. This plan has been developed to prepare
mining and
engineering and other personnel of BCCL to
effectively carry out their role in the event of a mine emergency.
The extent that this plan will be implemented will depend on the
nature and scope of the emergency. Primary purpose of Crisis
Management Plan is to ensure that mine rescue and recovery
activities are conducted safely while providing for:
· the protection of personnel involved in rescue and recovery,
· the rescue of survivors, and
· the recovery of the victim or victims.
K.D.Prasad B.Tech (Mining) ISM, Dhanbad
4
5. Need of Emergency Organisation
(MMR 1961)/(CMR 1957) has required under Reg.190A /Reg.199A
and directed to draw up a standard operating procedure to be
followed in the event of an emergency in the mine so as to ensure
that a timely and effective action was taken in case of a major
under ground accident (Disaster) in the mine. It has been
suggested in this connection that the standing Orders should
include instruction for different category of staff and officers who
would take action in the manner indicated in the Standing Orders.
The instruction should be kept up to date at all times and be made
available to the mine officials concerned and to the local rescue
station.
It has been the experience in most major disasters that
immediate reaction is chaotic, and it has taken some time to sort
out and put into operation a systematic method of procedure. The
need for having a proper scheme which is put in to operation as
quickly and smoothly as possible is, therefore, obvious. Many lives
may be saved if all who are to be concerned with rescue work
know exactly what part they have to play in the scheme.
K.D.Prasad B.Tech (Mining) ISM, Dhanbad
5
6. Important Consideration in drawing up a
scheme of emergency organisation
In the event of a mine explosion or fire or inundation etc
the work done in the first few hours is of vital
importance. This applies as much to do the organisation
of the operations as it does to the efforts of the rescue
teams.
Each member of the organisation should be given duties,
with which he is generally familiar so that he will not
have to “learn” the part he will have to play in an
emergency.
In preparing any emergency organisation, the manager
should envisage the circumstances in which he himself
may be involved in the incident.
At the time of an accident the manager should exercise
his discretion in adopting a plan according to the nature
and scale of the emergency.
K.D.Prasad B.Tech (Mining) ISM, Dhanbad
6
7. Continued
It may be that the accident is confined to one district or
part of district, and if so, considerable help may be possible
from those who are in the pit but not affected by the
incident. Nevertheless since the availability of this help can
not be considered certain it may not be allowed in the
scheme, but such a help would of course be a very valuable
’extra’.
It may not be possible for a plan to be prepared for those
in the pit or near the mouth of the incline. Such persons
will therefore have to act according to their own knowledge
and initiative whilst the major scheme is coming in to
operation.
Every person involved in the emergency organisation must
clearly understand in advance his particular role.
K.D.Prasad B.Tech (Mining) ISM, Dhanbad
7
8. Continued
An important point to stress is that, if operations are going
to be prolonged, it is necessary at an early stage to work
out a system of relief. There is no need to stress the
arduous nature of rescue work following a disaster, and it
should be borne in mind that tired men can not be of much
assistance, and in addition are capable of making wrong
decisions. Therefore, no matter how great the desire of an
official to remain on the job, he must be compelled to leave
the pit and go and rest after he has done a reasonable
amount of duty. He would then be able to come back later
on and make a further valuable contribution.
Details of the scheme must be worked out in advance in
the fullest possible details, and include the ‘ Action
Messages’ and ‘ Warning Messages’ appropriate to each
individual colliery.
The scheme must be capable of immediate operations by a
responsible official.
K.D.Prasad B.Tech (Mining) ISM, Dhanbad

9. First Information of Disaster /
Emergency
Any under ground official, the on-setter or
other person realizing that something
serious has happened, should telephone to
the surface, if there is telephonic
communication between under ground and
surface. However, where there is no
telephone or the telephone is not working,
he shall send a special messenger to the
attendance clerk / telephone operator at
the surface or send the information of the
emergency through a special code of
signals.

Attendant / Attendance Clerk
Duties of Banksman / Fan Attendant
When the Banksman or the attendant to Mechanical
Ventilator or any other person sees or hears any unusual
happening e.g. the sound of an explosion, smoke or
flame, which may indicate that a disaster has occurred
under ground, he should immediately inform the
attendance clerk on duty.
Duties of attendance Clerk (Emergency Siren)
The attendance clerk or other designated person should
on getting information of major accident either from
under ground or surface, sound a hooter or a siren
immediately declaring a state of emergency at the mine.
K.D.Prasad B.Tech (Mining) ISM, Dhanbad
10
11. Duties of Telephone Operator
Duties of Telephone Operator
When a Siren is sounded on the surface
declaring the state of emergency, the telephone
operator at the surface should first contact the
manager and on his advice to call key personnel
using the information listed in the Emergency
Organisation Chart.
It is important that all telephone calls are
recorded in a telephone log book. The record
should also include the incoming calls which
deal with the emergency. The telephone calls
may be tabulated as follows:

32. Mock Rehearsal
– A mock disaster is a simulation of an
actual mine rescue operation. It requires
setting
up
a
command
center,
establishing a fresh air base, and
deploying teams on a rotation schedule.
– The idea is not new. A number of
companies already use a mock disaster
training session as part of their total
emergency preparedness training.
K.D.Prasad B.Tech (Mining) ISM, Dhanbad
32
33. Description and Arrangements:
The preparation necessary for putting on a
mock disaster training session include:
Preparing areas for a command center and fresh air
base (both with necessary communications)
An underground area the team will be working in
(placards can be used to indicate various conditions).
You will need to have maps of the underground area.
A briefing and team assignments
A team rotation schedule
An area set aside for teams to prepare and clean
their apparatus.

34. personnel needed to carry out the
mock disaster
The personnel needed to carry out the mock
disaster include:
Mine rescue teams (at least three, although four is
probably the optimum number for a single days
training session)
Appropriate safety and management people to man
the command center and fresh air base
It’s also important to involve the other surface
personnel who should be called in on a real rescue
situation.
For instance, you can have guards checking people
as they come on property, a supply clerk, lamp man,
mine electrician, mechanical foreman, and so on.

35. personnel needed to carry out the
mock disaster
Additionally, you may want to invite DGMS
and (where applicable) state officials to
observe or participate in the mock disaster.
And, you’ll need equipment and food for all
people.
Obviously, a mock disaster training session
requires the participation of quite a few people,
particularly, Management-level people. While it
can be a significant outlay of money and time,
a mock disaster training session can also be an
extremely valuable training experience.
For the teams, its realistic training session, and
for the people in charge, its an opportunity to
practice coordinating and directing rescue
work.
