Vehicle Interaction Risk

Vehicle Interaction is a situation where equipment, plant or personnel are intentionally or unintentionally in close proximity to each other, a void or obstacle, and where there is a potential for collision or interference resulting in either injury to personnel, or damage to equipment or plant.

Collision Management

An effective Collision Management System incorporates robust methods of monitoring and verification to check that the controls in place are working as intended at each Control Level 1-9 to prevent an unwanted event. Everybody wants to go home safe.

AIM

Every Collision Management System must implement a robust method of monitoring and verification to ensure what is in place to prevent harm, does what is intended...

CLIENT REVIEWS

Mitacom incident review process for mobile equipment...

"The incident review tool developed by Mitacom saved us serious man-hours that would have been required to translate the data into useful information. The experience brought to the team on how to interpret the incidents and how to group equipment to make sense based on the anticipated end result also added value by removing the element of uncertainty. The method used to determine the significant risk was scientific and can be defended, this also removed the element of uncertainty and different individual interpretations which could be insufficient"
