Swedish term or phrase: bergskrotning
This term appears in an 'instruction' in the context of company XXX environmental policy. It appears in a list with no specific context that helps with meaning:

Följande miljöaspekter har bedömts som betydande:
HuvudgruppץAktivitet
Belastningsergonomi◊••◊Administration, Linjearbete, Bergskrotning, Tungt underhåll, Fenklippning (fiskodling), Skogsröjning
Stress/psykosocial arbetsmiljö◊••◊Rondning, Projektledning, Linjechef, Administration
Elsäkerhet◊••◊Arbete i eller invid elanläggning, Okända anläggningar
Fallolycka◊••◊Service och underhåll, alla kategorier
Trafiksäkerhet◊••◊Tjänsteresor, Gatljusunderhåll

The client provided the following explanation of the term: I bergtunnlar (och gruvor) görs kontroller av bergets tak och väggar för säkerställa att inte lösa ”stenar” skall finnas. Det kallas bergskrotning. Ev rock scrap.

I am not convinced that 'rock scrap/scrapping' is the correct term.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

If it includes removal or reinforcements of unsafe rocks/parts, you could perhaps do something like this:
"mine shaft inspections with rock removal/reinforcement"

agree  Michael Ellis: Your client's explanation does not cover what has to be done if loose stones are found. 'Rockface scaling' may make it little clearer.
