Review of an international tailings management guide.
HATS, with assistance from other consultants, was engaged by an international organisation to review an upcoming tailings governance, management and technical guidance document. The aim of the guide was to assist owners with understanding and meeting the requirements set out in the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management.
The review informed our client on how their guide aligned with other established guidance documents, standards and regulatory requirements around the world. Any significant differences were identified and addressed by our client’s working group.
To complete the review, HATS produced a matrix rating system which allowed a comparison of the guidance document with respect to content and procedural details for various subjects related to the regulation, management and technical aspects of tailings management.
This was an exciting project for HATS that continued our ongoing support and involvement with industry bodies, with the goal of responsible global tailings management.
