Be part of mining’s most important conversation.
Overview
The AMR Safety Summit brings together mining’s safety decision makers, innovators and frontline experts for two days of powerful discussion and practical insight.
Hosted in Perth, the summit combines a high-level conference program with a boutique exhibition. From zero harm and human performance to hands-on workshops on critical controls, the focus is on what actually changes outcomes on site.
If you influence safety outcomes — or your work supports the people who do — The AMR Safety Summit is your opportunity to help strengthen the systems that keep people alive.

Layher is the world’s leading manufacturer of modular scaffolding systems, renowned for German engineering, safety, and innovation. With over 80 years of experience in construction, industrial, infrastructure, and event sectors, Layher provides integrated access solutions that help clients build safer, faster, and more efficiently. Our range of integrated scaffolding systems includes Allround Lightweight, bridging systems, temporary roofs, and shoring solutions, all supported by local engineering, training, and detailed design services.
With a strong presence across Australia, Layher collaborates with contractors, asset owners, and safety professionals to enhance standards on every project, from small maintenance jobs to large, complex structures. We have been active in the Western Australian market for more than 20 years and continue to invest, with a new facility scheduled to open in 2026, featuring training and demonstration areas.
Using Layher scaffolding improves project safety. Users benefit from working platforms with higher load capacities that are free from gaps and trip hazards, along with comprehensive technical support. The installation and dismantling of the scaffolding are also significantly safer due to its lighter weight and fewer components compared to traditional systems. The ability to crane structures into position, combined with integrated advanced guardrails and cantilever options that eliminate the need for heavy trusses, ensures the project is carried out safely from start to finish.

The Buddie System is the world's first wireless instant safety alert device and is a proven crane safety control designed to reduce the risk of serious incidents arising from communication failure during lifting operations. Developed in Australia and now deployed internationally, the system provides a simple, reliable safeguard in high-risk and complex crane environments.
The Buddie System enables personnel working closest to the load to immediately alert the crane operator to imminent danger via a wearable, wireless breakaway lanyard device. Activation triggers an instant audible alarm in the crane cab, ensuring critical warnings are received without delay, radio congestion, or ambiguity.
Importantly, The Buddie System is not intended to replace existing safety controls, procedures, or training. It operates as a last-line defence, strengthening an organisation’s risk management framework by addressing a well documented failure point in crane operations: loss of effective communication.
By delivering a low-cost, high-impact layer of protection, The Buddie System supports executive duty of care obligations, incident prevention strategies, and a demonstrable commitment to workforce safety.
