SUMMARY:Essentials of Asset Management & ISO 5500x
DESCRIPTION:How can you improve the performance of your asset portfolio? Learn how to identify and treat asset risks? Make financially-optimized asset management decisions? If so\, this course is for you. This course will give you the skills needed to implement holistic and sustainable asset management practices in your organization. \n\n\nOver the last few years\, the challenges of managing physical assets have grown. Asset-intensive companies are faced with aging assets\, hyper-competitive markets\, change-resistive culture\, unpreparedness for digital-ready world\, climate change\, and ever-tightening constraints on funding. \nToday’s asset managers must integrate asset\, business\, risk and quality management principles to strategically manage their organization’s assets. The modern asset manager focuses on integrated business processes that harmonize asset information across organizational silos to make financially-optimized asset management decisions. The ISO 5500x family of standards provides guidelines for organizations to develop sustainable asset management approaches and be able to respond appropriately to constraints and opportunities within their operating contexts. \nThis course focuses on global best-in-class practices to holistically manage assets and optimize levels of service over their life cycles. The course is anchored on three pillars\, asset performance\, asset risk management and business/financial management. The course content is mapped to the ISO 5500x family of standards and the Global Forum on Maintenance and Asset Management (GFMAM’s) Asset Management Landscape. The course is designed to be multi-disciplinary\, in order to foster effective cross-functional team approach when participants return to their workplaces. \nParticipants will receive a Certificate of Completion on successful completion of the course. \nRegister

With the release of the 2016 ICMM Position Statement on Preventing Catastrophic Failure of Tailings Storage Facilities\, mining companies increasingly focus on accountability\, responsibility and competency; planning and resourcing; risk management; change management; emergency preparedness and response; and review and assurance. \nMitigating future failure of tailings dams requires a cultural shift on Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) management and governance. This cultural shift calls for education within the industry – and of stakeholders – on the design\, operation\, construction\, operation\, and closure of TSFs. \n\n\nSYMPOSIUM SESSIONS FEATURE FIVE TOPICS:\n\n\nTailings Dam Failures – Lessons Learned & Reputational Risk\nSession chairs: Kim Morrison\, Newmont Goldcorp and Dirk van Zyl\, University of British Columbia \nThe industry record on tailings dam performance\, as measured by number of failures\, has been generally unchanged over the last 50 years\, with an average of about two failures per year. However\, there is a disturbing trend of increased severity of the failures\, with the majority of failures since 1990 classifying as Serious (i.e.\, large enough to cause significant impacts or loss of life) or Very Serious (i.e.\, catastrophic dam failures that released more than one million cubic meters of tailings and\, in some instances\, resulted in multiple loss of life). \nThis session will address these important questions\, and more: \n\nAre we\, as an industry\, heeding the experience gained through these failures\, or does history continue to repeat itself?\nAre knowledge gaps\, management shortcomings\, or poor ethics to blame for the failures?\nWhat are the repercussions with respect to reputational risk of a tailings dam failure?\n\nState of Practice Session\nSession chairs: Georgia Lysay\, Freeport-McMoRan and Amanda Adams\, Stantec \nThis session will focus on the technical side and the application of engineering/science to tailings. Presentations will be case studies that address the various disciplines related to tailings: geotechnical\, climate/hydrology\, hydrogeology\, geochemistry\, slurry transport. The goal is to highlight specifics about each featured project that could be replicated in other projects to make them “state of the practice”. \nPresentations are based per stage in the TSF lifecycle: \n\nDesign\nConstruction\nOperations\nClosure\n\nTailings Governance\nSession chairs: Caius Priscu\, Anglo American and Harvey McLeod\, Klohn Crippen Berger \nThe goal of the session is to understand various governance systems and their advantages and limitations. Governance is a culture of performance that works throughout the organization with a core value of reducing risk. Governance systems start in the Corporate Office and are\, by necessity\, a mix of managerial\, technical and operational components. \nPresentations will include corporate governance models that have been implemented to reduce the risk to owners\, shareholders and the public\, and technical and operational governance systems/components. \nTailings Continuum – Selection of the Right Tailings Technology\nSession chairs: Mike Davies\, Teck and Rachel Jansen\, Paterson & Cooke \nThis session’s presentations will show different perspectives and roles within the overall efforts to evaluate\, select and then implement the right tailings process technology across the tailings continuum. The panel discussion will look at present\, near-term and longer-term projected trends within the continuum and provide all who attend an appreciation that “one size fits all” is not applicable to tailings deposition technologies. \nImportance of CULTURE in Safe Tailings Management\nSession chairs: Tamara Johndrow\, Freeport-McMoRan\, and Richard Davidson\, AECOM \nReview of recent tailings storage facility (TSF) failures indicates a number of them occurred after a history of compounding deficiencies leading to an erosion of resilience in TSF performance. Many of these deficiencies likely occurred without a full understanding of the implications of technical or business decisions on a complex\, long-lived facility. Changing conditions are inevitable\, so being able effectively predict future system behavior\, proactively search for potential challenges or changes\, and implement appropriate mitigations is critical. \nThis session explores the vital role of a company’s safety culture in driving down TSF failures to a goal of zero: \n\nCulture begins at the very top of an organization. Creating strong safety culture with an environment of responsibility in a collaborative and supportive manner is critical.\nA high level of communication between qualified operational staff\, subject matter experts and multi-tiered reviewers helps illuminate potential failure modes and actions required to improve resilience and reduce risk.\nImportant traits include securing independent and competent technical and operational assessments\, asking engaged questions\, making risk-informed decisions considering worst-case failure modes\, searching for gaps in understanding / hidden risks and mitigating proactively\, and striving for continual improvement.\n\nPresentations will include four case studies\, followed by a panel discussion\, of human elements involved with the safe design and management of TSFs. \n\n\nMANAGING GANGUE MINERALS\n\n\nProgram Chair: \nGangue minerals constitute a predominant portion of any ore deposit. Managing gangue minerals comes to play a decisive role for effective mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Declining ore grades have made this an urgent concern at many mining operations. Experts from industry and academia will share their knowledge on a variety of aspects related to the management of gangue minerals in mineral processing and hydrometallurgical circuits. \nThis symposium features presentations examining the following technical aspects: \n\nPre-concentration of ores to manage problematic gangue\nManaging non-sulfide gangue (NSG) in flotation\nManaging sulfide gangue minerals in flotation\nManaging gangue in hydrometallurgical processes

SUMMARY:Coronavirus Research Update
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW! \nThe 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a member of the Coronavirus family that was identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan\, China on December 12\, 2019 To date\, more than 89\,000 people have been diagnosed with the virus resulting in more than 3\,00 deaths. It is believed to be primarily spread through person-to-person contact; however\, concerns have risen about the possibility for fecal-oral transmission. The potential for fecal-oral transmission of COVID-19 needs further research to define the potential implications for wastewater management\, including onsite wastewater disinfection\, as part of efforts to control COVID-19 transmission. The survival\, infectivity\, and concentrations remain to be confirmed. \nDue to the potential for this disease to spread worldwide\, it is important that water sector professionals remain informed regarding ongoing information of this virus and any measures needed to protect both workers and public health in general. The Water Research Foundation is hosting this webcast to provide technical updates and information on Novel Coronavirus. Our world-renowned presenters are experts in infectious disease control\, virology\, water engineering\, outbreak epidemiology\, pandemic trends\, and risk emergency response. Our speakers will provide participants with technical details\, resources\, and published public health recommendations as we continue to learn more about this ongoing outbreak. \nSpeakers: \nPeter Grevatt\, PhD\, CEO – The Water Research Foundation\nDr. Charles Haas – Drexel University\, WRF Academic Council\nJonathan Yoder – Water Preparedness and Response at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\nDr. Rasha Maal-Bared – EPCOR Water\, Chair of the WEF Waterborne Infectious Disease Outbreak Control (WIDOC) Working Group of the Disinfection and Public Health Committee\nDr. Mark Sobsey –  Gillings Schools of Global Public Health\, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill\nDr. Lisa Casanova – Georgia State University\nDr. Kyle Bibby – University of Notre Dame\nDr. Dan Deere –  Water Quality Specialist at Water Futures\, Australia \nModerator:\nLola Olabode\, MPH\, BCES\, The Water Research Foundation
