MineOps: Safety, Shift Handover & Equipment Tracking

How GetPost Labs approaches mining operations. Real-time safety reporting, digital shift handovers, and equipment monitoring.

Conceptual Prototype — Illustrating our approach

Executive Summary

The Problem: Safety incidents go unreported for days due to paperwork burden. Shift supervisors have no visibility into what the previous crew accomplished or flagged. Equipment failures cost $500K+ per incident.

The Solution: MineOps enables 5-minute incident reporting from the field, digital shift handovers in 10 minutes, and real-time TRIFR tracking on the dashboard.

The Outcome: Near-misses are captured immediately while details are fresh. Every shift starts with full context of what happened before. Equipment issues are flagged early.

The Challenge

Understanding the problem space

"Safety incidents were going unreported for days because of the paperwork burden. We only discovered near-misses when investigating actual incidents."

— Site Manager, Blackwater Mining Operations

Mining operations run 24/7 with rotating crews. When shift handovers rely on verbal briefings and paper logbooks, critical information falls through the cracks. Safety incidents go unreported because the paperwork takes too long.

Equipment monitoring at remote mine sites is challenging. When a loader fails, it can cost $500K+ in direct repair costs plus lost production. Early warning systems exist but data isn't reaching decision-makers.

How Safety Culture Is Transformed

Reporting that takes minutes, not hours

Safety improves when reporting is easy enough that near-misses are actually captured:

Incident Reporting

Before

Worker fills out 3-page paper form. Drops it at office. Safety team may see it 2-3 days later. Details forgotten.

After

Worker opens app, takes photo, adds description in 5 minutes. GPS auto-captured. Safety team alerted immediately.

Shift Handover

Before

Incoming supervisor gets verbal briefing in crib room. No written record. Key issues forgotten within an hour.

After

Outgoing shift completes digital handover: production numbers, issues, safety notes. Incoming shift reads on tablet before starting.

Equipment Monitoring

Before

Equipment runs until failure. Mechanic called to remote location. 8+ hours of downtime while parts sourced.

After

Sensor data flags temperature/vibration anomaly. Maintenance scheduled during shift change. Zero unplanned downtime.

User Journey

Safety Incident Response

Scenario: Near-miss incident reported: Loader reversed near pedestrian in pit area.

1
Pit OperatorReport Incident

Immediately reports via mobile app. Takes photo of location, selects "Near Miss", adds description. GPS auto-captured

2
MineOps SystemInstant Alert

High-priority alert sent to Safety Coordinator and Site Manager. Incident logged with timestamp, location on site map

3
Safety CoordinatorInitial Response

Arrives at scene within 5 minutes. Adds witness statements via tablet. Takes additional photos of sight lines

4
MineOps SystemAuto-Classification

System classifies: Category 3 (High Potential). Triggers mandatory investigation workflow. TRIFR not impacted

5
Safety CoordinatorRoot Cause Analysis

Uses digital 5-Why template. Identifies: Blind spot + Missing spotter + Pedestrian in exclusion zone

6
Site ManagerApprove Actions

Reviews corrective actions: Additional mirrors, mandatory spotter policy, refresher training. Approves and assigns due dates

7
MineOps SystemTrack to Closure

Actions tracked with reminders. When all complete, incident closed. Full audit trail for regulator if required

Outcome: Near-miss captured and investigated in 4 hours. Corrective actions prevent future incidents.
