Safety

  • Implementing the Mining Welder Competency provides surety of welder proficiency and hence improved safety

  • The Mining Welder Competency provides evidence based VoC for all the welding processes that must be used on site

  • Reduced repairs means less exposure to risk of injury

  • Improved crack repair quality means lower risk of failures that may cause a safety incident

Risk Management

  • More accurate risk management and maintenance based on better crack data

  • Reduced risk of lost production due to cracking.

  • Reduce financial and safety risks involved with the affects of cracking and weld repairs

  • Option to provide customised and standardised condition severity thresholds for TARPS

Personnel Management
