This includes making sure that local people will be able to rely on healthy natural resources (land, water, etc.) and economic opportunities. The company will also need to discuss and approve the mine closure plan with affected communities to take into account how local people want to see the area when the mine closes.

MS.07 Tailings
Tailings dams can be very dangerous for people, livestock, and the environment.

A company can show that it takes this issue seriously by disclosing practical information on its tailings dams, by making sure these dams are clearly signed and made safe to prevent accidental injury or deaths of people and animals, and by regularly testing the warning systems.

MS.08 Safety of Communities
Mining is often dangerous for local communities, as accidents and conflicts can result in deaths and injuries. A company can respect local communities and help keep them safe by publicly disclosing the number and circumstances of any deaths that happen. And although it is impossible to guarantee that mining-related emergencies will never happen, a company can reduce any negative impacts by developing crisis management and emergency response plans. By including affected community members in testing these response plans, companies can help make sure the plans work well in the case of a real emergency.

MS.09 Community Complaints and Grievances
A company that respects local communities wants to be able to know, and respond, to their concerns. This involves setting up a formal process (called a community grievance mechanism) that enables individuals or groups from affected communities to register their complaints, in order to have these issues remedied by the company. Community members are more likely to trust and use these complaint mechanisms if the company discloses how the mechanism is being used, and what steps are being taken to make sure that complaints are being dealt with effectively.

A safe environment is one that keeps workers physically and mentally healthy. Safe working environments are generally more productive, and mine sites with good safety conditions are better able to attract workers and investors. A mining company can avoid and reduce safety risks by giving its workers appropriate protective equipment and suitable toilets and handwashing facilities that are safe for women and men. Transparent monitoring of working schedules can also prevent potentially abusive practices.

MS.13 Training of Workers
According to the International Labour Organisation, no person should be employed to work at a mine site unless that person has received the necessary instruction and training to be able to do the work competently and safely. So training needs to cover not only health and safety and emergency measures, but also technical skills. Educating and training workers can then lead to a more productive workforce.
