FIFO workers believe bosses don’t care

IFO workers say their employers do not care about their wellbeing and most do not feel valued for the work they do, a new survey has found. Libby Brook, of Murdoch University's school of psychology, said a survey of 223 FIFO workers found most feel their needs not are not being met, while many believe their companies are not doing enough to support them, The West Australian reported.   The survey is part of ongoing research at Murdoch University into the possible health affects of working in the mining industry. Murdoch University's Graeme Ditchburn said the survey results show that employee support was important when it comes to job satisfaction. "From an organisational perspective, companies need to be looking at how they can empower managers and supervisors to support their employees more efficiently and effectively," he said. Another survey of FIFO workers and their partners showed that less than 50 per cent were aware of the resour...

Rio South of Embley Bauxite Mine

Rio Tinto Alcan announced it expects to spend $528 million over the next three years developing is new South of Embley bauxite mine, located near Weipa in Queensland’s Far North. The project’s developers have commenced meetings to discuss the provision of goods and services for the mine’s construction which is scheduled to begin next year, pending environmental and company approvals, Cairns.com.au reported . Project director Laurie Hicks said recruitment and materials supply was currently being considered in Cairns, however preferential treatment for local suppliers would not be given. “Where several options exist, a bid process will be adopted which may include other local, regional, Australian or offshore suppliers," he said. "While there will be no preferential treatment, options that promote local content, shorten supply chains, offer indigenous employment and deliver value to the project will be due consideration." Employing abo...

Milling of Materials

Ball Mills A Ball Mill grinds material by rotating a cylinder with steel grinding balls, causing the balls to fall back into the cylinder and onto the material to be ground. The rotation is usually between 4 to 20 revolutions per minute, depending upon the diameter of the mill. The larger the diameter, the slower the rotation. If the peripheral speed of the mill is too great, it begins to act like a centrifuge and the balls do not fall back, but stay on the perimeter of the mill. The point where the mill becomes a centrifuge is called the "Critical Speed", and ball mills usually operate at 65% to 75% of the critical speed. Ball Mills are generally used to grind material 1/4 inch and finer, down to the particle size of 20 to 75 microns. To achieve a reasonable efficiency with ball mills, they must be operated in a closed system, with oversize material continuously being recirculated back into the mill to be reduced. Various classifiers, such as screens, spiral classifiers, cy...
