At its root, safety involves managing exposure to the many hazards present in a mining environment. To offer authoritative guidance on managing exposure to hazards, the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health originated its hierarchy of controls, seen here.
In our commitment to advancing mine safety, Wenco is developing solutions that raise the control options available to mine operations ever higher on this pyramid.
Our system integration, fatigue monitoring, and Open Autonomy initiatives all move the state of mine safety closer to its ultimate goal — eliminating or preventing exposure to all hazards.
