The output is a practical starting point, not a verified professional assessment. Confirm the facts, jurisdiction, assumptions and intended purpose before using any result for a consequential decision.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a responsible-mining certification?
No. It is an educational self-assessment, not an accredited assurance scheme.
Can a contractor use it?
Yes. Adjust applicability to its actual scope rather than assuming mine-owner responsibilities.
Does a score prove compliance?
No. Evidence, applicable rules and independent review determine formal compliance.
