Health & Safety

The Health & Safety (H&S) Program is a key element in PDAC’s strategic priority of responsible exploration. The mandate of the program is to build the capacity of companies exploring in Canada to improve their health & safety performance and achieve zero harm.

The three core activities of the H&S program include the annual health and safety survey undertaken in partnership with the Association for Mineral Exploration, an annual H&S short course offered at the Convention and outreach to various industry conferences on the topic of H&S.

The information you provide PDAC and AME in the confidential health and safety survey will enable us to compile a comprehensive annual safety report, safety guidelines and other resources. Your organization becomes eligible for Gold, Silver or Bronze Safe Day Everyday Awards by participating in the survey.
