In an industry such as mining, health and safety is absolutely paramount. By the nature of the job, workers tend to deal with heavy machinery, often in hostile conditions, and frequently operate in remote areas where sometimes a hospital can only reasonably be reached by air. The global mining giant, Rio Tinto, mines and processes mineral resources, including iron ore, copper, diamonds, aluminium, borates, salt and titanium dioxide. It owns an integrated network of 16 iron-ore mines across the vast Pilbara region in the north west of Australia. They are supported by four independent port terminals as well as a 1,700km rail network and related infrastructure.
