Leveraging smart technology to improve risk management and protect worker health and safety in the mining industry
Having controls in place with effective connectivity and communication is critical in mining operations. The need for proactive and preventative measures and reliable remote monitoring capabilities underscores the importance of having a cohesive picture of all aspects of operations for optimal situational awareness. Resilient risk management and safety relies on handling vast amounts of data from vehicles, equipment, workers, inspections, and remote drilling locations. Centralized control and accessible information are vital to identify potentially hazardous interactions and combined risk factors and enable mine operators to practice proactive and preventive maintenance, optimize machine uptime, and protect workers.
Dynamic Risk Management
GOARC’s safety solution answers the need to improve communications and data transfer across the mining site, providing dynamic risk assessment, enhanced control of process safety, and other critical controls even under extreme environmental conditions.
