Safety at every stage of the work

From field geological work to the sample preparation facility, staff health and safety remain a priority across every Elementa site.

Our approach to safety

Protective equipment and control on the production floor

All sample preparation staff work in certified protective suits, respirators and ear protection — equipment is matched to the specific operation: crushing, pulverizing, drying or packaging samples.

An industrial dust extraction system removes dust right at the source, reducing health risks for personnel while keeping the production line clean.

Safety principles

What we rely on in the field and on the production floor

01

Personal protective equipment

Protective suits, respirators, ear protection and gloves are mandatory at every stage of sample preparation and field work.

02

Dust control

Industrial dust extraction across crushing, drying and pulverizing areas reduces personnel exposure to dust.

03

Pre-fieldwork briefing

Before heading to a rig or a survey site, the team is briefed on safety procedures and equipment handling.

04

Safe equipment operation

Crushers, pulverizers and drying chambers are operated under procedures that prevent contact with moving parts.

05

Sample labelling and traceability

A clear labelling system rules out mix-ups and risks while samples are moved and processed at every stage.

06

Work-area cleanliness checks

Regular checks of cleanliness and order across production areas and field camps.

Safety at drilling sites and field camps

Field geological work is carried out with weather conditions, terrain and the remoteness of deposits taken into account. The team is equipped with the necessary gear, and drilling sites are organised with safe placement of equipment, materials and rest areas in mind.

Core logging and geological records are kept directly on site, reducing the risk of data loss and enabling on-the-spot quality control right at the deposit.
