The Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority is providing insurance education to mining stakeholders at the ninth Mining Technology Exhibition in Geita. The outreach focuses on using insurance to manage operational risks rather than requiring miners and mineral traders to absorb losses themselves. The authority identified workplace accidents, fires, floods, theft, equipment damage, natural disasters and liability claims as key exposures that can affect lives, property and capital. It urged stakeholders to understand available products, policy terms, coverage and claims procedures so they can select protection suited to their operations.
