Abstract Tailing pond is a major risk source，which the 18th in the international disaster accident rankings and poses a serious threat to the safety of downstream residents and facilities. Aiming at the tailing dam safety research and management problem，a large number of foreign research literature of tailing dam safety was collected. New progress in foreign research in tailing dam stability，safety management and environment protection was reviewed. Analysis methods and research of foreign scholars in the tailing dam failure reason，safety management and environmental pollution problems were analyzed and discussed. At the same time，the present situation in tailing dam stability，seismic performance，safety management and on-line monitoring research were described and compared with corresponding international studies. Following conclusions are drawn. (1) The study of tailings dam at home and abroad are mainly concentrated on the dam body safety，environmental protection，tailing pond management and so on，especially the tailings dam stability. Countries pay more and more attentions to tailing dam safety and environmental protection. (2) In the tailings dam safety management and environmental protection，Foreign countries are more rigorous and standardized than China. The management of tailings reservoir is strengthened in tailings dam design，construction and training. (3) Domestic research on stability of tailing dam and safety monitoring has accumulated some experience. Analysis has an important reference value to the safety management and environmental protection of tailings dam in China. Also the implementation of online monitoring with high technology for tailings dam safety is supposed to be the development trend of safety management in China. Research contents and trend are summarized according to nearly 10 tailing dam online monitoring projects.
