Mining & Metals
Control high-risk work in underground operations, processing plants, and smelting facilities with digital permit management.
Why Traditional Safety Management is Failing Mining & Metals
Underground Operations Demand Rigorous Entry Controls
Confined space entry, ventilation monitoring, and emergency evacuation procedures require real-time tracking and verification. Paper systems cannot provide the visibility needed to keep underground workers safe.
Extreme Conditions Create Unique Safety Challenges
From molten metal handling to blast zone management, mining and metals operations face hazards that require specialized permit types and strict safety protocols that paper systems cannot adequately enforce.
Multi-Shift Operations Lose Continuity at Handover
When shifts change, critical information about active permits, ongoing hazards, and incomplete work must transfer seamlessly. Manual handover processes create dangerous information gaps.
Regulatory Inspections Require Instant Documentation
Mining safety regulators conduct frequent inspections and require comprehensive records. Manual documentation systems are slow, error-prone, and cannot demonstrate real-time compliance.
Safety underground and above
Manage permits for the full range of mining and metals operations — from underground excavation to surface processing. Every permit is linked to location data, environmental monitoring, and worker qualifications, ensuring that work only proceeds when all safety conditions are met.
Hazard assessment and permit creation
Evaluate the work environment, identify specific hazards (gas, heat, blast zones), create the digital permit, and verify all worker competencies and safety equipment.
Authorization and safety verification
Multi-level approval ensures supervisors, safety officers, and control rooms sign off before work begins. Environmental monitoring data is linked to the permit.
Real-time tracking across shifts
Monitor all active permits across underground and surface operations. Shift handover includes live permit status, active hazards, and pending work — eliminating information gaps.
Closure, inspection, and audit trail
Permits are closed with final safety checks, environmental readings, and completion verification. Complete records are available instantly for safety inspections.
Unlimited users, full control
Confined space and hot work permits
Specialized permit types for underground entry, hot work in hazardous areas, and blast zone operations — each with mandatory safety checklists.
Real-time location and zone management
Track permits by underground level, processing area, or blast zone. Exclusion zones are enforced digitally to prevent unauthorized entry.
Shift handover with live status
Every shift change includes a complete picture of active permits, ongoing hazards, and pending approvals — ensuring continuity and safety.
Mining safety compliance built in
Pre-configured for mining safety regulations with automatic documentation, mandatory checklists, and audit-ready reporting.
