Dafo South Africa and Africa’s Post

As specialist in the mining industry, we’ve witnessed firsthand the true cost of cutting corners on vehicle fire protection. Contrary to the industry's prevailing belief that cost-saving in fire safety measures is economically beneficial, we argue that the cost of non-compliance far outweighs the initial investment in robust safety protocols. While it may seem prudent to minimize expenditure on sophisticated fire suppression systems in mining vehicles, consider the repercussions of inadequate protection: costly equipment losses, severe downtime, and, most critically, endangerment of lives. Investing in comprehensive fire protection not only mitigates these risks but also enhances operational efficiency and safeguards our workforce—the heart of our operations. Let's not learn safety by accident. Prioritize and invest in top-tier fire protection systems for all mining vehicles. It’s not just a regulatory requirement; it’s a strategic asset that preserves both your capital and your crew. 👉 For more information: https://lnkd.in/ewHkDqsd www.dafo.co.za #MiningIndustry #FireSafety #Innovation #HydrogenTechnology #AutomatedVehicles #MiningSafety #dafo #dafosouthafrica #vehiclefireprotection #fireprotection #VehicleFireSuppresion #thedafoeffect

Dust: Dust control has become increasingly crucial in the mining industry. This is primarily due to the need to address health and safety concerns, comply with EPA regulations, and enhance productivity. Dust control challenges and areas of concern that the mining industry face include: - Unsealed/haul roads from heavy machinery to light vehicle movement, - Impact on workshop environment, - High water consumption to reduce the impact of airborne dust particles, - Reduced productivity, - Scheduled blasts, - Conveyor systems, - Potential health & safety risk to workers and others. At Vision Intelligence along with our EnviroGuard visual data camera system, we can work with your site to take a proactive approach to minimise the impact. Our system offers on ground data and in real time. Please contact me for further information. #mining #miningindustry #dust #dustcontrol #environmentalresponsibility #glencore #angloamerican

⚠ SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS ⚠ In the past 9 months, there have been 5 significant incidents involving the hydraulic crowd cylinders on load haul dump (LHD) machines in underground coal mines. Four of these incidents have occurred in the past 4 months. This has prompted the NSW Resources Regulator to issue a safety bulletin to industry. This is a topic close to our hearts here at R&D Mining and we take this stuff extremely seriously. "OEMs and suppliers of implements to be attached to LHDs must provide any information necessary to ensure that the LHD can be used without risks to safety when implements are attached as designed, including accurate mass and centre of mass."

Worldwide, approximately 80-90% of fatalities and injuries involve vehicle interactions and result from restricted operator visibility. Among these incidents, 50-60% of accidents are reported by mine sites due to poor visibility at slow speeds. To increase safety in mining, Cat® MineStar™ Detect can eliminate blind spots, indentify fatigued operators, and alert operators to potential collisions. #safety #mining
