The forum served as a key platform to discuss current challenges and trends in occupational health and industrial safety within the mining and metallurgical sector, including modern approaches to improving industrial safety standards. Special attention was given to digitalization and automation of processes that contribute to reducing production-related risks.

In the context of global transformations – technological, climatic, social, and geopolitical – occupational health and industrial safety are becoming an integral part of corporate strategy and a factor of competitiveness.”
It should be noted that the International Mining and Metallurgical Congress took place in Astana, with AMM 2025 held under the main theme:
