The MSD challenge in mining
The risk where this work actually happens.
Remote sites, confined spaces and heavy manual handling make musculoskeletal risk both high and hard to assess. Conditions change by shift and location, and getting an objective read where the work actually happens has always been the hard part.
Mining is the field that extended the methodology from shearer-safety research, under the Australian Coal Research Board.
How JointAction supports mining
Evidence in, prevention out.
Assess confined-space, underground and remote-site tasks — five sensors, around ten minutes per task, no camera line-of-sight required.
Build a task demands library across every high-risk role and site.
Prioritise controls by consequence, and validate that they actually moved the score.
Hold a defensible, longitudinal record for the regulator.
