Safety First: How CoMinVi Builds a Culture of Protection Underground

In underground mining, safety is not just a regulation — it’s a way of life. Every tunnel, every blast, every meter developed depends on the people who make mining possible. That’s why CoMinVi has built its reputation on one foundation: safety first.

A Philosophy Rooted in Responsibility

For over 20 years, CoMinVi has specialized in underground mining construction and exploration, working with top companies across Mexico and Latin America. But beyond its engineering expertise and technical precision, what truly defines CoMinVi is its culture of protection — a company-wide mindset that sees safety not as a checklist, but as a shared value.

Certified under ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety Management) and ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management), CoMinVi ensures that every operation meets international standards. These certifications reflect the company’s dedication to continuous improvement, preventive practices, and worker well-being, turning safety into a daily commitment rather than a reactive measure.

Integrated Systems for Safer Mines

CoMinVi’s safety framework is built around its Comprehensive Safety, Health, and Environment System (SISSMAC). This system integrates modern tools for monitoring, auditing, and managing occupational risks. Complementary programs such as CCRM (Critical Risk Management), IPERCC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Control), and the Supervisor Program work together to prevent incidents and strengthen field discipline.

Through regular training, inspections, and internal audits, each team member — from drill operators to engineers — becomes an active participant in risk prevention. As CoMinVi’s philosophy states, “operational accidents and illnesses can be avoided.”

People First, Always

CoMinVi’s strength lies in its people. The company invests in its workforce with specialized training, mental health awareness, and leadership development. Its internal communication programs foster a sense of trust and accountability — crucial in an environment where every decision can impact dozens of lives.

This people-centered approach is why CoMinVi has earned the Socially Responsible Company (ESR) distinction from CEMEFI for ten consecutive years. Safety, ethics, and social responsibility are not separate goals — they are the pillars that sustain CoMinVi’s success.

Building a Safer Future Underground

As mining projects become more complex, CoMinVi continues to lead the way in safe, efficient, and sustainable underground operations. By combining technology, experience, and human commitment, the company is shaping a future where every tunnel represents progress — and every worker returns home safely.

Safety Snapshot: 

Every month, CoMinVi launches a safety awareness campaign focused on a specific theme — from energy lockout and manual lifting to hand protection and work at heights.

In 2024 alone, more than 3,400 hours of training were dedicated to these campaigns, reaching every team member on site.

This ongoing effort turns safety into a habit, not an obligation — because at CoMinVi, our strength is our people, and their protection is our priority.
