A rule of thumb I’ve heard for mining equipment is that operations spend roughly the machine’s purchase price on maintenance over the machine's lifecycle. Any well-run operation, like Rio Tinto schedules regular maintenance before machines schedule it for them. Each machine has various intervals that determine what work maintenance crews perform. For example, at 250 hours, they may only change filters and perform inspections. But at 10,000+ hours, it could look more like this, with a serious outage to replace entire undercarriages. And with machines this large, they don’t come to you! #betterdirtworld

🔥 Heat Management in Mines 🌡️ High temperatures underground can pose serious risks to workers' safety. In my latest video, I break down Queensland's regulations on managing heat exposure and how to ensure workers stay safe when temperatures rise. ⛏️ Let’s keep safety a priority in every mining operation! #MiningSafety #HeatRisk #WorkerProtection #SafetyRegulations #VentilaciónEnMinas #SeguridadConVentilación #VentilaciónSubterránea #AmbienteSeguroEnMinas #RegulacionMinera

Our studies in core processing facilities have shown manual handling and repetitive strain injuries such as MSDs are a growing concern, similar to underground mining. It was one of the driving forces on why we developed ergonomic modern equipment for geologists and technicians. #miningsolutions #miningequipment #mininginnovation #corelift #ExploringforValue #miningindustry

In the mining industry, safety is more than a priority, it's a necessity. Investing in strict protocols and high-quality personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial to ensure the well-being of all workers. #Safety #WellBeing #PPE

In any construction, mining or project areas, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the most important part of the company or organisation's values about its employees safety. #safety#ppe#value

Fitting a brand new tire on a mining dump truck is a significant task, especially considering that these tires can cost upwards of $90,000 each. Proper installation is crucial to ensure safety and performance in demanding mining environments. The process involves carefully lifting the truck, removing the old tire, and securely fitting the new one, all while adhering to strict safety protocols to prevent accidents and ensure optimal functionality. #mining #heavymachinery #engineering #truck #trucks #tire #tires #safety
