Mining safety, surface and underground.

Mining safety, surface, underground and process.

Mining is the largest sector we serve. Our directors’ have extensive mining experience, combined with backgrounds in police investigation, industrial fire and rescue, paramedic practice and occupational health and nursing.

Sub-sectors we work in

Iron ore

Pilbara and Mid-West iron ore operations — open-pit mining, rail, haul and port — drive a substantial portion of our work. We deliver WHS support, ICAM investigations, emergency response design, occupational health and contractor verification work for both Tier 1 operators and their principal contractors.

Gold

Goldfield’s gold operations across both surface and underground, drive deep ICAM, emergency response and underground-specific WHS work and support.

Nickel

Nickel operations across Kambalda, Leinster and Kalgoorlie and emerging operators carry distinctive process safety considerations. We provide with WHS support, emergency management and occupational health and wellness.

Lithium and rare earths

WA’s growing lithium and rare earths sector — Greenbushes, Mount Marion, Kathleen Valley, Wodgina, Pilgangoora — generates new safety challenges around chemical processing, transport interfaces and rapid operational scale-up to support global supply of Spodumene. We consistently deliver WHS advisor placements and support, consultancy, ICAM investigation and occupational health services to the Lithium industry.

Junior and exploration

Junior miners and exploration operators face the same legal obligations as majors but typically with leaner internal teams. Our retained Onsite WHS Advisor service is particularly well-suited to this segment.
