says. This proactive approach to safety benefits the workers and provides tangible financial advantages. “We’ve worked with insurance underwriters who can reduce premiums if an entity leverages the myComply platform,” he states. ENHANCING SAFETY IN THE MINING SECTOR As myComply continues to expand its influence, the mining sector stands out as a critical area where its technology has significantly impacted. Rylan Spencer, Head of Mining, Energy & Facilities for the company’s mining arm, shares insights into myComply’s application in mining. “Using myComply in mining is about ensuring you know who’s on-site and that they’re qualified and trained every day, not just your direct employees, but contractors and sub-trades,” he explains. This comprehensive tracking is facilitated by the platform’s suite of tools and features, including site access control hardware. Spencer’s extensive background in contract mining, particularly in Saskatchewan’s potash and uranium sectors, has equipped him with invaluable knowledge that he brings to his role at myComply. He notes the evolution of health and safety practices in mining over the past decade.“Mining has come a long way in health and safety practices, but there’s still a gap that needs to be filled,” he observes. By applying the same methodologies that have proven effective in construction, myComply aims to bridge this gap in mining. High-profile safety incidents have heightened awareness and urgency around improving safety standards. “Everyone’s talking about AI and autonomous vehicles in mining,” Spencer mentions. While these technologies reduce human exposure to dangerous zones, they do not eliminate the need for on-site personnel.“Having a system like myComply ensures that everyone on site has up-to-date training and qualifications, even for operating autonomous vehicles from remote locations,” he emphasizes. Spencer envisions myComply’s role in fostering industry-wide improvements. “We’re developing new features and tools that will benefit the entire mining industry, not just specific mines,” he states. having a central source of truth and real-time reporting, our platform can be monitored from an insurance point of view,” Wolff points out. This capability is vital for maintaining compliance and reducing risks.“If you ensure everybody has a driver’s license, you’re going to have fewer accidents on the road,” he adds, drawing a parallel to the importance of continuous compliance monitoring in construction and industrial settings. In practice, myComply helps ensure that workers’ training and certifications are always current, even as they move between projects or employers. The platform also supports adherence to safety programs through daily shift meetings and toolbox talks.“We are reducing injuries, lost time, and fatalities and mitigating the associated legal consequences,” Wolff 136 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 08
