What we see in coal

Six risks that recur across every engagement

Each one appears in the register with an owner, a rating and a treatment plan.

Safety

Fall of ground, methane, machinery and transport hazards.

Rail and export capacity

Rail and port constraints that hold back sales.

Market and contracts

Export prices, power station demand and contract renewals.

Closure and rehabilitation

Liabilities, financial provision and water after mining.

Funding and climate policy

Lenders, insurers and carbon rules moving away from coal.

Just transition

Workers and communities as mines and power stations close.

Inherent rating, before controls

  • Mine Health and Safety ActDuties to protect people at the mine.
  • NEMAEnvironmental authorisations and financial provision for closure.
  • National Water ActWater use licences and mine water.

How we work with coal clients

Built around the operation

Timed around production

Sessions are planned around shifts, shutdowns and board meetings.

Site and corporate risk in one register

Safety sits alongside markets, closure and finance, rated on the same scale, so the board sees one picture.

Evidence on hand

Controls and actions are recorded in a secure workspace your team keeps updating, so an inspection or audit request is answered from live records.
