Mine safety inspection just got easier

October 3, 2018 JOHN NINNESS

Pervidi’s Mine Safety Inspection Solution is built with functionality specifically designed for the mining industry. With each and every mining site unique in layout and in composition, the company custom designs a digital solution that is specific to mine safety inspection at a particular mine site.

Mine safety inspection can now take advantage of mobile devices like never before. Rugged and Intrinsically Safe devices give inspectors and operators the possibility to use software as a method for recording on mine sites, with all the features and functionalities of a tablet /smartphone associated with it.

Camera functions, long battery life, speech-to-text services and easy annotation on the device gives operators and inspectors a versatile input method. The glaring problem of inspection methods in outdoors areas is that there is rarely a Wi-Fi or internet signal strong enough to penetrate the earth’s bedrock. The latest digital inspection checklists combat this through offline recording abilities meaning no inspector is location restricted throughout the mining site. Such a wide variety of features in today’s mobile device means inspection checklists can therefore become a more detailed and accurate piece of recording.

Mine safety inspection benefits

Paperless solutions also represent a valuable inspection method for those managing the process. In-depth analysis and metrics mean dynamic reports can be created via the software. This, like the storage of the data can be in-house or through cloud-based computing, removing the need to store dusty paper checklists storage spaces.

Pervidi automates checklists, work orders and any type of mining inspections, making inspections more rigorous and more time cost efficient. Inspectors and other employees can benefit from the digital solution as they are able to use the same inspection software across the mining site, all the data and results synched on one platform. This is especially useful for mining operation with a range of safety inspections and compliance activities, as there is a clear audit trail and simple sharing of data with 3rd parties if desired. Safety inspectors and other stakeholders can have numerous custom checklists created to inspect all compliance elements of the mining activities.

Inspectors and management are ofter overwhelmed with the numerous regulations, standards and codes that the must abide and refer to and need to reference. Large and bulky paper manuals can be cumbersome to carry to and from each location as well as unnecessarily time consuming to navigate.

Pervidi allows any paper reference material to simply be attached to any checklist and quickly referenced to. This allows for a more efficient work and inspection progress as well as minimising the weight of necessay guidance material.
