3.8 SAFETY IN MINES RESEARCH ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP AND ATTENDANCE The Safety in Mines Research Advisory Committee (SIMRAC) is responsible for advising the MHSC on research programmes needed to improve OHS in the mining sector by reviewing OHS risk based on the statistics of prior years, evaluating research proposals and monitoring and evaluating the implementation of MHSC research projects or programme. As per the approved Centre of Excellence (CoE) business plan, SIMRAC provides an oversight on the work of the CoE, which is executed through the three (3) CoE technical committees being the Research Determination Technical Committee (RDTC), ProgramDelivery TechnicalCommittee (PDTC) and Research Outcomes Dissemination Technical Committee (RODTC). The RDTC utilises historical data on OHS statistics, predominantly as received from the DMRE and emerging trends in OHS as a basis for developing research questions and defining research needs for the MHSC. To ensure effectiveness of this phase of research process, the involvement and inclusion of various stakeholder(MHSC members, mining companies (research sites providers), original equipment manufacturers, technology innovation agency) inputs into determining research focus areas are also critical. TORs for identified research topics are developed, MHSC procurement processes are followed until service providers are contracted to conduct the relevant research. The PDTC manages the actual research programme execution process ensuring quality of the delivery of the research project by the service provider on brief, budget and time (BBT). The RODTC ensures that the outcomes of completed research projects are appropriately packaged for the identified target audience using the best possible knowledge and technology transfer medium for high level impact to OHS performance in the SAMI.
