Seguridad El Reglamento de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo establece las normas mnimas para la prevencin de los riesgos laborales, e indica que debern estar contenidas en un Sistema de Gestin de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo, estableciendo la responsabilidad en dicha Gestin. Con la entrada en vigencia de dicho reglamento, se han conformado los comits paritarios en las unidades mineras. Con el fin de garantizar que se eliminen o minimicen los riesgos a los empleados y otras partes interesadas, se incrementaron los comits de 160 a 269, los que reflejan la estructura orgnica de la empresa y tienen como funcin la identificacin continua de peligros, la evaluacin de riesgos e implementacin de los controles necesarios. Se tuvieron supervisiones regulares de OSINERGMIN comprobndose los esfuerzos de la compaa por la mejora en las condiciones de Seguridad, Salud Ocupacional y Medio Ambientales. Merece especial mencin la implementacin de los sistemas de ventilacin automatizados, especialmente en la Unidad de Yauli donde se han instalado ventiladores de 300,000 y 400,000 CFM nicos en el Per. Medio Ambiente Actualmente se redisea el SSOMAC para adecuar a la norma OHSAS 18001-2007. En cumplimiento del reglamento ambiental para exploraciones y operaciones mineras, durante el 2008 se obtuvieron las aprobaciones, por la DGAAM MEM para el inicio de los trabajos de exploracin en los Proyectos Rondoni, Rio Pallanga Marcococha, as como de operacin para la ampliacin de las Plantas Concentradoras Animn a 4200 TMSD, Paragsha a 9500TMSD y del reinicio de la explotacin minera de la Unidad de Ticlio. As mismo para el Cierre de Minas, en el ltimo trimestre de 2008 se presentaron a las autoridades los Planes de Cierre a nivel de factibilidad de las concesiones que estn en operacin. Considerando que Volcn ha establecido que es muy importante mantener las actividades de sus operaciones mineras en armona con el medio ambiente, se estn introduciendo mejoras a su Sistema de Gestin Medioambiental para hacer un mejor seguimiento de los compromisos y obligaciones adquiridos a travs de los Estudios de Impacto Ambiental, las Evaluaciones Ambientales y los Reglamentos de Cierre de Minas y Pasivos Ambientales.
Safety The Workplace Safety and Health regulations state the minimum provisions to prevent labour risks and point out that there must be included a Workplace Safety and Health Management System to set the responsibility in said Management. Since the regulations were put into force, committees in each of the mining units were organized. With the objective of guaranteeing that risks to employees and other interested parties are eliminated or minimized, the committees were increased from 160 to 269, reflecting the organizational structure of the company and, how the indentification of dangers is functioning, risk assessment and implementation of necessary controls. There have been regular inspections of OSINERGMIN checking the companys measures for the purposes of improving Safety, Occupational Health and Environmental conditions. It merits special mention that automized systems of ventilation were implemented, especially in the Yauli unit where they have installed the only300,000 and 400,000CFM fans in Per. Environment Currently, the redesign of SSOMAC is in progress in order to adapt it according to the OHSAS 18001-2007 regulations.During 2008, In compliance with the environmental regulations for mining exploration and operations, approval was obtained from the DGAAM MEM to start the exploration works in the Rondoni, Ro Pallanga, Marcococha projects, as well as to expand the Animn concentrator plant to 4,200 DMT, Paragsha to 9,500 DMT and, the restart of the Ticlio mining unit. At the same time for Mines Closure of the operative concessions, the Mine Closure Plans at feasibility level were filed before the authorities during the last quarter of 2008.
Taking into account that Volcan has established that it is important to keep its mining activities in harmony with the environment, improvements in its Environmental Management System, measures are being introduced in order to provide a better follow up with the commitments and obligations acquired from Environmental Impact studies, the Environmental Assessments and the Mining Closure Regulations and Environmental Liabilities.
