Ensuring the safety and security of a mining site can be a complex, multi-layered process demanding considerable time and specialized staff resources.

Specifically designed to meet the increasing demand for safety, security, and compliance throughout mines and exploration sites, our 120 Days To Compliance plan is a comprehensive program covering all aspects of mining safety and security – including physical security, access control, first aid personnel and equipment, emergency response, staff training and coordination – while assuring ongoing compliance with regulations such as the Mines Act, Environmental Health and Safety, Workers’ Compensation, and the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code.

Risk Assessment and Planning

Our process begins with a thorough risk assessment that will identify the real safety and security needs of your mine, taking into account your goals and the regulations you are required to observe. This document will provide a clear diagnosis of the areas that need to be covered, as well as the procedures that need to be implemented along with any necessary resources.

Our expertise in risk assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation, combined with our extensive experience serving mining organizations, allows us to offer one of the most reliable and complete safety and security products for the mining industry.

Project-Specific Safety Plan (PSSP)

We also provide site project-specific safety plans (PSSP) to companies intending to move from the exploration to the production phase of their operations. These plans can greatly assist in garnering ministry permits.

Mine Site Protection

Our carefully selected personnel are fully licensed and certified professionals with military, law enforcement, and security backgrounds, who have been extensively trained and are continuously supervised to ensure that our exacting standards are maintained at all times.

Following systematic procedures, such as security patrols and random checks, our highly skilled personnel are adept at responding to any emergency situation and enable you to track information as required.

To cover the large, geographically isolated areas typically encompassed within a mine site, our team utilizes trucks and other appropriate vehicles, all equipped with communication devices.

Safety and 24-hour Emergency Response

Being prepared for anything is vital to keeping your mine operating during and after an unexpected event. To mitigate your risk, we maintain a fully prepared team, linked to all the necessary authorities, to provide a prompt, effective response in any emergency situation.

Experienced in mining operations and routines, our team is comprised of licensed professionals fully certified in the areas of work safety and first aid, such as occupational first aid attendants (O.F.A.), paramedics, emergency medical technicians (E.M.T.), and industrial nurses. We also provide, manage, and store all necessary first aid equipment.

Special Security for Documents and Materials

Dedicated to protecting documents and sensitive materials such as samples from theft, misplacement, fraud, or destruction, this specialized service protects your assets by integrating cost-effective security practices into regular routines to lower risks to manageable levels.
 
We also provide off-site locations featuring 24-hour surveillance that can be used to safely warehouse products and materials, or function as cold sites, or even temporary facilities in the event of an emergency.

Access Control and Electronic Surveillance

We offer a full range of electronic surveillance solutions including cameras, closed circuit television, DVD recorders, and access control systems. To realize maximum security and efficiency, we can work with you to integrate these technologies into your current operations.

While an abundance of pre-packaged plans and systems flood the market, we prefer to develop customized solutions that are cost effective and operationally flexible to enhance the security and resilience of your operation. As an example, an integrated system at your company gives you access control over your facilities and premises – even over wide geographic areas – and lessens unnecessary interruptions in your operations by monitoring high-risk areas in real time via the Internet. It improves employee safety, performance, and accountability, while limiting liability and insurance costs. In addition, this system can be integrated with other third-party systems, such as computer-based training, payroll, project- and time-management applications.

Preparedness for Business Continuity

Interruptions caused by natural or man-made emergencies can be very costly and detrimental to your business, often invoking liability claims and negatively impacting your company’s reputation and credibility. This in turn can affect customer loyalty, shareholder value, fund raising, and financing.

Our 120 Days To Compliance plan can smoothly integrates safety and security procedures into your operations, helping you build a strong foundation for your company’s emergency response and business continuity plan.

With our help, your operation will become more resilient – fully prepared to respond to emergencies and continue functioning despite interruptions or unexpected events.
