The
speed improvement is thanks to Passport 360’s built-in Robotic Process
Automation (RPA), which allows for custom documentation to be compiled in
minutes. “It provides for a greater level of real-time intelligence and insight
into SHEQ,” says Passport 360 director and co-founder Siobahn Whitehead.
The
dashboard view feature consolidates all contractor SHEQ documentation into a
high-level dashboard, again for real-time access of all data, which can be
managed and interpreted accordingly – an enormous effort to undertake using
paper-based systems.
This
is because paper-based systems are impossible to monitor and audit effectively
in real-time. For example, 200 paper files will take an average 400 days to
conduct a comprehensive review, rendering it near impossible to ensure that all
crucial SHEQ information is reviewed manually within the space of a single
year.
Without
consistent monitoring and review, SHEQ information quickly becomes outdated,
thereby ramping up the risk considerably. Digitising these records and then
applying Passport 360’s built-in RPA allows for mining operations to better
pursue the industry’s ultimate goal of zero harm.
This
also has significant implications for clients in terms of transparency and
security. Whitehead says: “Passport 360 allows contractors to access client
systems and information without exposing those internal systems.”
Passport
360 is equally capable of partnering with mining and resource companies in
order to onboard their contractors more efficiently and quickly, thereby
ensuring that they can be up and running in hardly any time at all.
“Our
smart technology has a range of significant benefits for our mining clients,
from real-time SHEQ monitoring and reporting, to highly-advanced onboarding,”
said Whitehead. “It allows us to provide our mining clients with a complete
solution that slashes their risk, allowing them to focus on their core business
of mining.”
