Compliance is the floor. Going home safe is the point.
On a South African mine, the Mine Health and Safety Act sets non-negotiable requirements — and keeping people and trackless machinery apart, knowing who's underground, controlling exposures and watching a tailings dam are daily realities, not paperwork. addanode delivers MHSA-aligned monitoring that protects your people, satisfies the inspector, and keeps production moving — surface and underground.
Four pressures, one platform.
People & machines must stay apart
TMM-to-pedestrian and TMM-to-TMM collisions are the headline risk — and 8.10.1 now expects the machine to intervene, not just warn.
You must be able to find people
In an emergency, "who signed in" isn't enough — 16.7 expects last-known location to direct rescue and account for everyone.
Exposures harm over a career
Dust, gas, DPM, noise and heat do slow damage; periodic spot samples miss the peaks that matter.
Unplanned downtime is brutal
A failed mill, conveyor or pump — or a tailings or ventilation problem — costs a shift or worse, often with no warning.
Safety, compliance and uptime on one platform.

Built for the conditions, supported locally.
The detail matters underground: detection proven for dust, curves and reflective metal; intrinsic-safety certification where the atmosphere demands it; collision systems that intervene (EMESRT Level 9), not just beep; edge buffering so a power dip never erases a safety record; and one platform so collision, person location, hygiene, ventilation, tailings and asset health share a backbone and a control room. Because we build the hardware and software in-house and support it locally, your safety-critical systems get fast local support.
It all runs on the in-house addaNet platform — see the full mining optimisation solution for how it fits together.
Regulatory references are for orientation; confirm current requirements against the latest Mine Health and Safety Act, its regulations and your appointed advisers.
Mining questions we answer.
Most enquiries start with a compliance requirement and end with the realisation that the same platform also protects uptime.
