From underground ore haulage to open-cut blasting — InvestigatePro guides your safety team through ICAM investigations that surface root causes, not just symptoms.
Mining has unique hazards, complex multi-contractor sites, and regulators who increasingly expect systemic analysis. Generic investigation tools — or paper forms — aren't up to the job.
Static Word documents and paper-based investigation forms don't prompt investigators to look beyond immediate causes. Organizational factors go unrecorded. The same incidents recur.
Modern mines operate with dozens of contractors. When incidents involve multiple companies, investigation accountability becomes unclear and findings don't flow back to all affected parties.
Valuable lessons from one site never reach other operations. Investigations disappear into shared drives. Trends go undetected until a pattern of serious incidents demands executive attention.
Mining regulators in Australia, South Africa, West Africa, and the Middle East increasingly require ICAM-aligned investigations for serious incidents. Informal processes no longer satisfy compliance requirements.
When investigators must build everything from scratch — timeline, causal analysis, PEEPO assessment, recommendations — a simple ICAM investigation can take days. The process becomes a burden.
Investigation reports generate corrective actions that sit in email inboxes. Without a tracking system, overdue actions go unescalated. The same root causes resurface in the next incident.
InvestigatePro's investigation framework and AI coaching are calibrated for the incident types most common in mining operations.
Underground stope failures, hangingwall instability, rockburst events. ICAM analysis surfaces geotechnical management system gaps, inspection frequency, and support design processes.
Collision, rollover, and pedestrian interaction incidents. Investigation covers traffic management systems, equipment inspection regimes, fatigue management, and site layout design.
Misfires, fly rock, premature detonation. ICAM captures deviations from shot firing procedures, competency verification systems, and initiation system management.
Mechanical failures, chemical exposures, conveyor accidents. Covers maintenance management systems, LOTO/LOTOTO procedures, permit-to-work, and change management.
Dust and silica exposure, vibration, heat stress incidents. Investigation examines monitoring program design, health surveillance systems, and occupational hygiene management.
Electrical contact, arc flash, high-pressure systems. ICAM analysis covers isolation management systems, energy control procedures, and competency verification for high-risk work.
Working at height incidents including ladderways, platforms, and dump edges. Examines fall protection systems, inspection regimes, and task-specific risk assessment quality.
Incidents involving contractor personnel. ICAM captures contractor management systems, pre-qualification standards, site induction quality, and principal-contractor interface management.
InvestigatePro combines proven ICAM methodology with AI coaching to make thorough investigations faster and more consistent.
Step-by-step ICAM workflow guides investigators through each phase — from timeline reconstruction to PEEPO organizational factor analysis. No ICAM training needed to get started.
AI assistant reviews your causal analysis in real time, challenges shallow findings, and prompts investigators to consider organizational factors they may have overlooked. Ensures ICAM quality every time.
Every recommendation generates a tracked action with responsible owner, due date, and escalation rules. Overdue actions surface automatically. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Generate a complete, regulator-ready investigation report in seconds. Formatted for mining regulatory requirements — no more hours spent in Word templates.
Manage investigations across multiple mine sites and contractors from a single platform. Site-level data stays segregated while management sees the full picture.
Identify recurring causal factors and hazard categories across your operation. Turn individual investigations into a portfolio of organizational intelligence that drives systemic improvement.
From incident notification to closed corrective actions — InvestigatePro guides your team through every step.
Record incident details, classification (LTI, HIPO, near-miss), location, personnel involved, and initial description. Takes 2 minutes. Can be done on mobile from the mine site.
Reconstruct the sequence of events using the guided timeline builder. Attach photos, witness statements, and evidence documents. AI flags gaps in the sequence.
Work through the four ICAM factor categories: absent/failed defences, individual/team actions, task/environmental conditions, and PEEPO organizational factors. AI coaching ensures depth and rigor.
One click generates a complete, formatted investigation report. Includes all evidence, timeline, causal analysis, and recommendations. Regulator-ready immediately.
All recommendations are tracked as actions. Automated reminders notify owners before due dates. Overdue actions escalate to supervisors. Investigations don't close until actions are complete and verified.
General EHS platforms are built for compliance management. InvestigatePro is built specifically for investigation — the depth shows.
