While critical control frameworks are becoming increasingly common in mines and quarries in NSW, effective implementation of these frameworks can be hampered by an inadequate grasp of the necessary data inputs, indicators and human psychology that govern whether the framework will create the intended outcome. As statutory mechanical officials in mines and quarries in NSW, assuring the effectiveness of critical risk controls can significantly reduce blidspots and improve your ability to know where you stand in relation to critical control effectiveness. This presentation will elevate your ability to:
• Identify and address complexity risk in developing critical control frameworks
• Recognise and respond to cognitive bias to maximise the performance of critical control frameworks
• Evaluate and apply key risk indicators and risk tolerances in order to effectively and honestly measure the performance of critical control frameworks.

Critical Control: A control that is crucial to
preventing the event or mitigating the consequences
of a Material Unwanted Event (MUE).
Key Risk Indicator (KRI): A metric which provides an
early warning signal of elevating risk exposure.

6. Introduction
Mindful Risk. Focused Solutions.
This presentation is designed to deliver:
• Practical guidance on 3 focus areas that I believe will improve
management of critical controls and reduce blind spots for you as a
manager.
• Honest advice from my journey of success and failure in developing
CCM Frameworks as an employee and an external advisor.
What it won’t deliver:
• A detailed list of steps to implementing a CCM Framework.
• An analysis, deconstruction or critique of the benefits or limitations of
CCM.

10. Why Adopt
CCM Frameworks?
To identify and monitor specific risk controls designed to
prevent High Consequence , Low Probability events.
Improve management of Principle Mining Hazards.
Provide a system for controls assurance which aligns to
legislative “Due Diligence” obligations in WHS Act.

Failing to address

15. Complexity Risk
Holism
Mindful Risk. Focused Solutions.
Howard Gardner, Harvard Business School
• Complex systems as networks of interconnected
relationships featuring multiple “actors”. The relationships
between these actors may not be direct or obvious.
• The focus of Holism is on understanding relationships
between “actors” rather than separating systems down into
component parts. Viewing a complex system Holistically.
• Complexity science is the application of iterative, scientific
based approaches to complex business and process and
systems.
HOLISM VS REDUCTIONISM
17. Navigating
Complexity Risk
Mindful Risk. Focused Solutions.
• Approach the CCM process with critical thinking and a sense of pathological unease
• Effectively deploy Bow Tie Analysis to “Tell the Risk Story” and to display relationships
between controls.
• Focus on understanding relationships and interdependencies between processes and
systems, rather than reducing only reducing a system to component parts.
• As a Statutory Official, strive to identify and influence the appropriate interdependencies and
relationships instead of attempting to control the whole system.
SAVE YOUR SANITY!
• Broaden engagement with your commercial function and supply chain, including your
suppliers of parts and consumables.
18. Addressing
Bias
Mindful Risk. Focused Solutions.
In a complex environment, humans have a propensity to look towards
the ease of simplicity. This bias is known in psychological terms as
anchoring bias. This can be defined as the human tendency to rely on
the first piece of information offered, that is, ‘the anchor’ when making
decisions.
Tversky and Kahneman, 1974
Israeli/American psychologists

Address Bias in
CCM
Mindful Risk. Focused Solutions.
1. Acknowledge its existence and identify its impact (in every aspect of decision making and
risk management, particularly in relation to CCM).
2. Engage a more diverse audience in the process of CCM framework development – Don’t
think purely wages staff, consider supply chain, commercial, stores.
3. Develop a CCM skills matrix ( the same approach as used by Boards of Directors) to
identify, engage and invest in a more diverse pool of participants for CCM risk
management activities.

24. KRI & Risk
Tolerance for CCM
Mindful Risk. Focused Solutions.
• Adopt the techniques associated with addressing
Complexity Risk and minimising the effect of Bias to
elevate the quality and accuracy of data gathered by
CCM Frameworks.
• Transparent, fearless (and documented) discussions at
an Executive and Board level to establish KRI and risk
tolerance for CCM.
• Consider the establishment of a risk and compliance
steering committee (Large Operation) or at least ensure
effective ownership of critical risks and critical
controls(Small Operation).
25. In
Summary
Mindful Risk. Focused Solutions.
1. Identifying and managing complexity risk allows CCM Frameworks to yield higher quality
data.
2. Recognizing and addressing bias provides improved foresight over the range of uncertainty
and variability in data gathering and decision making in relation to CCM.
3. Developing effective KRI and Risk Tolerances provides the opportunity to establish early
warning signs of elevated risk exposure in CCM Frameworks.
