Critical controls checked in the field, every swing.
Material unwanted events sit in one register with their bow ties and critical controls, and supervisors check those controls in the field. Permits carry their isolations and gas tests, rosters and fatigue rules follow each swing, and hygiene monitoring measures what people breathe.
Start with oneStart with any one of these on its own, and add the others only if and when you want them.
What mining and resources teams use most
The capabilities that matter most in mining and resources, all ready on the first day.
Material unwanted events
A curated register of the events that could seriously harm the business, each tied to its critical controls.
Bow-tie diagrams
Major risks are drawn as bow ties with threats, consequences, barriers and how well each barrier works.
Critical control checks
People in the field check that critical controls are working, even offline, and the results colour the risk.
Isolations and gas tests
Isolation points and gas tests are recorded, verified and released in order.
Rosters and swings
Rotations, swings and crew patterns are set up once and drive inspections, attendance expectations and fatigue checks.
Fatigue management
Hours, shifts and travel are watched against your fatigue rules so tired people are spotted before they start.
Journey management
Trips to remote sites are planned, checked in and escalated automatically when someone is overdue.
Monitoring programs
Each health hazard has a monitoring program with results for the whole work group.
Roll call at the muster point
Roll call runs from the live on-site list, and people check themselves in by scanning a code.
Competency checks on workflows
Any step in any workflow can require current training before it goes ahead.
The parts that fit mining and resources
Each one is sold on its own. Take the ones you need.
- Enterprise and cyber riskOne risk register for strategic, operational and cyber risk.
- Permits to workPermits to work with approvals, isolations and gas tests.
- Contractor managementPrequalify contractors and keep their insurance and licences current.
- Occupational health and chemicalsExposure monitoring, health surveillance and a chemical register.
- Emergency and crisis managementEmergency plans, musters, broadcasts and drills.
- Projects, plant and field workProjects, plant, pre-starts and defects in one place.
- Training and competencyTraining records, licences and renewals for every worker.
- Inspections and auditsInspections and audits on a phone, with findings tracked to close.
Worked example: a critical control check underground
A shift supervisor checks ground support controls on a development heading.
Step 1: The control is due
The ground support critical control check is raised for the shift, linked to its material unwanted event.
Step 2: Checked in the heading
The supervisor completes the check on the phone underground, without signal.
Step 3: A control fails
One bolt pattern is out of specification. The heading is flagged and the action goes to the geotechnical engineer.
Step 4: The bow tie shows it
The failed control shows on the bow tie and in the control effectiveness figures the general manager reads.
