Scope and requirement
Lubambe Copper Mine, a prominent Zambian copper operation, joined Safety Champion in 2018 with the aim of enhancing its workplace safety practices. The mine safety team required a solution that could build and communicate Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) responsibilities to the workforce managers and supervisors, provide access to incident and hazard data for informed decision-making, and enable offline inspections in remote areas.
Challenges:
Communication of SHE Responsibilities: There was a pressing need to clearly define and disseminate safety responsibilities across all management levels.
Data-Driven Decision Making: The mine required a system that could consolidate incident and hazard information to support data-based safety decisions.
Operational Constraints: Given the remote nature of their operations, a platform capable of functioning offline was essential.
Transition from Paper-Based to Digital: The mine was reliant on a paper-based system, which was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, impacting the overall efficiency of safety management.
Language Barriers: With a workforce that has diverse levels of literacy and diverse language needs, traditional text-heavy methods were inadequate for conveying critical safety information.
Results
The collaboration with Lubambe Copper Mine started with a comprehensive needs analysis and scoping process. We engaged closely with key stakeholders to understand their current paper-based system and identify critical gaps, including communication of safety responsibilities, real-time incident reporting, and the need for offline inspections. This allowed us to design an efficient process that meets their needs.
“From the outset, the team at Safety Champion understood our needs. They have been there with us every step of the way”
