RME wins inaugural Masters of Mining ‘Excellence in Safety Shield’

RME is proud to announce that it has won the inaugural 2024 Masters in Mining 'Excellence in Safety Shield' from mining.com.au.

This prestigious shield recognises a company, individual, or program committed to ensuring safety, mitigating risks, or reducing potential worker harm on a project or mine.

We extend our sincere gratitude to mining.com.au for recognising the dedication and hard work of our team at RME, project collaborators, industry partners, and Customers.

Being recognised in our 40th year of operation makes this achievement even more special. Since 1985, RME has had the privilege of contributing to comminution projects worldwide, creating lasting value for our Customers, employees, their families, and their communities

"Our journey began in 1985 when our founder, John Russell, identified a critical need to improve the safety of grinding mill relining. Our company motto, 'fast, reliable, safe,' appears on every item in the RME Mill Relining System, reflecting our focus on safety in design, manufacturing, and user experience intent," said Cherylyn Russell, Board Director when speaking with mining.com.au’s Editor-In-Chief, Adam Orlando.

This award crowns an extraordinary year of recognition for our team for safety and innovation. Earlier this year, RME received the Queensland Mining Industry Health and Safety Conference (QMIHSC) Innovation Award for our RME Advanced Technology Mill Relining System. This system enables liner exchanges from safer vantage points outside the mill, reducing risks for workers while delivering substantial safety and commercial benefits for Customers and the wider industry.

In August, RME was also honoured with the Australia-Latin America Business Council’s (ALABC) 2024 Business Excellence Award. This award celebrates exceptional Australian organisations for their achievements in trade and investment with Latin America, recognising excellence in business strategy and growth, product and service innovation, environmental and social governance practices, and regional commitment.

These accolades highlight RME’s relentless dedication to safety, innovation, and global collaboration. As we gear up to celebrate our official 40th anniversary in 2025, we remain committed to advancing industry standards and supporting our Customers. We are deeply grateful to our team, partners, and Customers for their unwavering trust and collaboration, which inspire us to continue striving for excellence every day.
