Offline Hazard Mapping in the Bowen Basin: When Reception Fails, Safety Shouldn’t

Summary:
From tailings dams to remote cutbacks, some of the most critical mining locations are also the hardest to stay connected in. But hazard management doesn’t stop when your device drops signal. That’s why HazView supports fully offline hazard mapping, ensuring safety stays front and centre — even when you’re miles from the nearest tower.


Remote Work, Real Hazards

The Bowen Basin is home to some of the most productive open-cut coal mines in Australia — and some of the most remote working conditions. Areas around pit lakes, remote dam walls, and haul road extensions often have no mobile coverage.

Offline Hazard Mapping in the Bowen Basin: When Reception Fails, Safety Shouldn’t

That’s where traditional paper-based inspections or cloud-only systems fall short.


HazView in the Field: Built for the No-Reception Zone

HazView was designed specifically for harsh, disconnected environments like these. Field crews can:

  • Access full hazard maps offline
  • Log hazards and controls with no reception
  • Generate inspection reports with a single tap
  • Sync automatically when back in range

In short: no signal, no worries.


Why This Matters for Safety and Compliance

Hazards don’t wait for 4G coverage. And neither should hazard reporting. HazView’s offline functionality ensures that:

  • OCEs and examiners can conduct full inspections from any location
  • Critical controls are not missed due to signal dropouts
  • Regulatory compliance is maintained with real-time time-stamping and full audit trails

This isn’t a workaround. It’s a purpose-built solution for mining operations where safety needs to be visible and mobile.
