Mining and quarrying — Code of practice
SCOPE:
This Rwanda Standard establishes the best practice guide for facilitating and encouraging continual improvement in the management of health and safety of employees and in the environmental performance of mining facilities throughout the mine and quarry life cycle in Rwanda. It describes the major operational activities that occur and the environmental concerns associated with these activities. It then presents recommended best practices to minimize the environmental impacts associated with mining and quarrying operations.
It covers environmental aspects ranging from air, soil, water and waste management to biodiversity.
It is intended to be a resource for mine and quarry owners and operators and regulatory agencies, as well as the general public, particularly those people in communities potentially affected by mining and quarrying activities. It also covers principles for mineral traceability and transparency and overall good practice in mining operations.
Hydrocarbons are not covered in this standard.
