Safe system of work
We help asset owners, operators and engineers in the gas, utilities, construction and other sectors to manage their site operations and people safely, swiftly, and with compliance.
Mineral Blue
Mineral Blue is an advanced, cloud-based integrated safe system of work for the energy, utilities and construction industries that streamlines safety processes.
- Creates electronic permits to work and deploys them to mobile devices: This can be shared across site teams or multiple locations.
- The created permit forms are interactive, meaning supervisors can control tasks and allocate appropriate personnel, while workers themselves can sign on and off using their own mobile devices.
- Permits can be fully customised: If clients want to use their own permits, then these can be included, to provide a semi-bespoke or completely bespoke solution.
- Create, distribute and file documents instantly to mobile devices, deploying risk assessments, worker competencies records and visual evidence of project milestones in real-time. Remote stakeholders and auditors can be kept immediately up to date with the quality of site process, and can access visual and documentary evidence of the deliverables being achieved to timescale.
- Mineral Blue includes patented technology to isolate plant remotely, and creates an agile first line of defence for workers using hazardous plant. iSOL8 automates isolation processes using cloud technology, intelligent lock boxes, NFC radio tagging and mobile devices.
- Empowering workers: Operable from workers’ own devices, Mineral Blue removes the time consuming paperwork and filing that previously ‘held up’ worker competencies and permitry processes, allowing people to get on site and working faster.
- Supporting skills and mobility: Operatives can upload and share their own qualification certificates and professional qualifications, supporting career mobility and self-determination.
- Reduced paperwork supports safety: Eradicating the need for paperwork and paper filing that has notoriously slowed site activities in the past means that managers have more time to run a safer, more profitable site.
The cost of permit queues mustn’t be underestimated. On our UK pilot project, our systems delivered £5m savings for £150k expenditure, from a total project spend of £120m. We recently surveyed oil & gas and mining project managers and found estimates ranging from 1% to 10% project costs lost to permit-related downtime.
Features
- Mineral Blue can be configured to meet the requirements of almost any safe work system and has easy to use field applications.
- Engineers and risk assessors create, control and securely distribute risk assessments in the cloud.
- Automated permits-to-work are created in the cloud, and deployed instantly to mobile devices.
- The system provides inviolable gateways to prevent unsafe operations by automating plant isolations and keeping workers safe.
- Mineral Blue provides full transparency of project milestones to all stakeholders – operatives upload visual evidence of critical project events from their mobile devices, authenticated with timestamped georeferencing.
- Workers can upload, save and share their work certificates and professional qualifications instantly.
