The focus is on how different risk analysis tools and procedures can be used effectively, while also highlighting limitations of some of the most popular tools. A strong case is made for a critical assessment of the effectiveness of risk-management tools. Finally, the paper discusses the challenges of understanding and communicating geomechanical mining risk, given the asymmetry of knowledge and information by decision-makers in mining companies. }, keywords={geomechanical mining risk}, keywords={underground and surface mining}, keywords={risk tools}, keywords={asymmetry of knowledge}, doi={10.36487/ACG_rep/1905_0.1_Hadjigeorgiou}, url={https://papers.acg.uwa.edu.au/p/1905_0.1_Hadjigeorgiou/} }
