Integrated Risk Management for Mining
One accountable partner for medical, security, crisis and training across Africa
Operating in Africa's mining regions means managing medical, security, political and crisis risk at once, often on remote sites hours from help. SPS brings all of it under a single, accountable partner.
Where mining is going, instability often already is.
African mining is entering a delivery phase, with new projects reaching production across remote and often volatile regions. The geography of mining increasingly overlaps with the geography of instability, and every new mine, camp and expansion brings a duty of care for the health, safety and security of the workforce, frequently hours from definitive care. Investors, insurers and host governments now expect this to be a demonstrable, tested capability rather than a discretionary spend.
Where others broker security and medical cover through third-party alliances, SPS delivers it in-house under one contract, with our own vetted people and assets on the ground across Africa.

Medical, security, intelligence and crisis response are delivered in-house and coordinated 24/7 through our Global Response Centre, so you deal with one team across the whole risk picture, from prevention through to recovery.
