| 3.1 | The main objective of this guideline is to enable the employer at every mine where it is relevant to compile a COP, which, if properly implemented and complied with, would improve cyanide management, thereby minimising risks to employees and communities from the use of cyanide in gold mining, and reducing community concerns about its use. |
| 3.2 | It provides guidance of a general nature on the required format and content for the COP and details sufficient technical background to enable the drafting committee at the mine to prepare a comprehensive and practical COP for their mine. |
