2012 Case Studies

In 2010, local authorities in the town of Andacollo in central Chile near our Carmen de Andacollo (CdA) Operations cautioned that the level of dust particles in the town’s air posed a potential human health hazard.

In March 2012, we invited representatives from the community to join an advisory panel created to foster dialogue and communications about our operations and their areas of influence within Elk Valley communities.

At Teck, a key focus of our safety program is to identify the root cause of serious incidents in order to ensure that they do not reoccur.

A key part of our strategy to manage water quality at our steelmaking coal operations in the Elk Valley of British Columbia is the construction of water treatment plants to remove selenium and other substances.
