About Mine Safety

The Mining Industry has a reputation for being a risky environment. Risks are varied and sometimes life threatening.

Strict safety legislation and protocols have been introduced over more than a century to set a goal for zero harm. Tech Edge is at the forefront of providing engineered solutions to potentially harmful situations, as well as much faster rescue operation response.

In addition to being committed to safety goals, our drive for safe working conditions is matched by our aim for zero lost time.  

We only use state of the art electrical control systems and have new designs of power packs waiting in the wings for industry and Mines Department approval.  We have focused on areas where we can improve safety, including day to day operational improvements, improved responses to equipment failure, and improvement to the rescue operations themselves.

Winder Driver Safety

We have focused on safety for winder operators.

Excessive noise can result in tinnitus (ringing in the ears), sleep disturbances, concentration problems and even permanent hearing loss.  Other hazards that can cause serious health problems, are UV radiation exposure, thermal stress and dust.

Our air-conditioned control cabins for housing the driver’s desk, electrical switchgear and hydraulic braking systems provide a host of solutions that reduce noise and dust, ensuring driver safety and comfort, as well as improving operating efficiency, while providing good equipment visibility.
