In underground mining, ensuring the safety of workers is paramount. The HELIX Dispatch platform is designed to enhance operational safety with advanced features that help identify potential hazards before they escalate, providing a safer working environment for miners.
Location-based hazard alerts
One of the standout safety features of HELIX Dispatch is its ability to provide real-time hazard alerts based on operator location. This allows for immediate action if an operator enters a hazardous zone, minimizing risks and preventing accidents. Whether it’s environmental hazards or equipment malfunctions, HELIX Dispatch has the tools to notify operators and supervisors in real-time.
Digital safety checklists
Ensuring all safety protocols are followed is critical. HELIX Dispatch features digital checklists for operators that are automatically populated for each shift. These checklists ensure that all safety measures are adhered to before, during, and after each task. Any issues found are immediately flagged, with feedback sent to the operator and management, ensuring quick resolution and improved compliance.
Seamless integration with fleet material management
The safety management tools within HELIX Dispatch are fully integrated with fleet and material management systems. This synergy enables dispatchers to maintain full visibility of all equipment and tasks. If an operator’s vehicle is involved in a safety-critical event, supervisors can use the data from fleet and material management to assess the situation in real-time and respond accordingly.
Reducing risk through proactive measures
HELIX Dispatch goes beyond reactive safety measures. By utilizing geospatial tools and real-time location tracking, HELIX Dispatch helps to identify risks before they become a threat. The system constantly monitors key safety factors, such as operator proximity to hazardous zones and equipment status, providing a comprehensive overview that helps reduce the likelihood of unsafe conditions developing.
Continuous improvement in safety culture
Safety is an ongoing effort. By leveraging the safety management features of HELIX Dispatch, mining companies can continuously improve their safety culture. Data-driven insights help to pinpoint patterns, uncover areas for improvement, and implement necessary adjustments. Over time, this leads to safer operations and better overall safety compliance.
In conclusion, HELIX Dispatch transforms safety management in underground operations by offering a suite of tools that empower operators, dispatchers, and supervisors to identify, track, and mitigate safety risks in real-time, ultimately creating a safer work environment and improving operational efficiency.
