BHP details dam management actions as it publishes findings into Samarco disaster

Diversified mining giant BHP Billiton has announced a number of actions to enhance the risk management of its dams, including creating a centralised dam management function and assessing technology options to enhance dam management across its portfolio. BHP Billiton will also apply, with immediate effect, the Canadian Dam Association’s “rigorous” process for dam safety reviews at all of its minerals assets.
