MineOps: Safety, Shift Handover & Equipment Tracking
How GetPost Labs approaches mining operations. Real-time safety reporting, digital shift handovers, and equipment monitoring.
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.

Core Capabilities
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
Worker fills out 3-page paper form. Drops it at office. Safety team may see it 2-3 days later. Details forgotten.
Worker opens app, takes photo, adds description in 5 minutes. GPS auto-captured. Safety team alerted immediately.
Shift Handover
Incoming supervisor gets verbal briefing in crib room. No written record. Key issues forgotten within an hour.
Outgoing shift completes digital handover: production numbers, issues, safety notes. Incoming shift reads on tablet before starting.
Equipment Monitoring
Equipment runs until failure. Mechanic called to remote location. 8+ hours of downtime while parts sourced.
Sensor data flags temperature/vibration anomaly. Maintenance scheduled during shift change. Zero unplanned downtime.

The business process modelled
Safety Incident Response Process
User Journey
Safety Incident Response
Scenario: Near-miss incident reported: Loader reversed near pedestrian in pit area.
Immediately reports via mobile app. Takes photo of location, selects "Near Miss", adds description. GPS auto-captured
High-priority alert sent to Safety Coordinator and Site Manager. Incident logged with timestamp, location on site map
Arrives at scene within 5 minutes. Adds witness statements via tablet. Takes additional photos of sight lines
System classifies: Category 3 (High Potential). Triggers mandatory investigation workflow. TRIFR not impacted
Uses digital 5-Why template. Identifies: Blind spot + Missing spotter + Pedestrian in exclusion zone
Reviews corrective actions: Additional mirrors, mandatory spotter policy, refresher training. Approves and assigns due dates
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.
