Fatigue and Distraction Management Fatigue, sleepiness and distraction impact each of us every day and losing focus on a mine site can have seri- ous consequences. However, this risk can be managed and mitigated through a comprehensive Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) that incorporates all layers of protection against fatigue. These layers of protection include: ● Site fatigue assessments ● Training and education on managing fatigue for indi-

Proximity Awareness Proximity Awareness is a GNSS based system which tracks machines and light vehicles, allowing operators to view other machine locations and provide proximity based alarming. The system is highly configurable allowing custom- ers to define areas around the machine along with values that determine projected path of travel. Filters can be set to reduce alarming where machines natu- rally come in close proximity as part of their normal operations such as loading. The filters can be defined to eliminate audible alarming except for the most crit- ical proximity zones. System flexibility allows custom- ers to tailor proximity warnings to their site needs. Onboard, the in-cab display shows a mine map indi- cating the position of the operator’s machine in rela- tion to others nearby. Zones are displayed on the map and operators are notified when they enter restricted areas or exceed specified speed limits. The display shows when two or more machines’ projected paths of travel intersect providing warning of a potential collision. The office application provides system administra- tive functionality such as the creation and maintenance of operators, machines, avoidance zones, hazards, and speed limits. Users can create personal desktop views to see information that is important to their job. Incident Management allows the capture of proximity, speeding and zone violations which can be played back for recon- struction. Personnel In underground applications, Personnel utilizes indi- vidual locator tags to identify people working at the face. This valuable information about the location and job role of tagged personnel is communicated via a high speed network so you always know where your people are working in proximity to moving equipment. It can automatically halt operations when unauthor- ized people enter restricted areas, while allowing serv- ice and maintenance personnel to work as required around operating equipment.
