Open-pit mine with excavators, haul trucks, a conveyor and teams of workers in hard hats

Mining safety compliance, built for Africa

Every hazard reported. Every worker home safe.

MinesureIO takes safety reporting from the shaft to the office. Safety officers log hazards and complete inspections on a phone, even underground with no signal, and managers see it the moment it syncs.

The problem

Between the shaft and the office, reports get lost

Day 0

The solution

Built for how African mines actually work

We are not replacing the people responsible for mine safety. We are giving them better tools.

Offline-first

Works underground with no signal. Reports are stored securely on the phone and sync when it reconnects.

Home-language AI

Workers complete reports in their home or preferred language, with AI help turning them into clear records.

Proof on every report

GPS location, timestamp, photo, voice note and signature are captured automatically.

Regulator-ready

MHSA checklists, a compliance calendar and DMRE-format reports in a few clicks.

Value to the mine

Compliance is cheaper than a stoppage

R2.4mestimated cost of one Section 54 stoppage: lost production, legal fees, remediation and penalties

90 daysto prove the value on your own shafts, with a pilot charged at cost

5.6×modelled return in avoided risk for every rand spent on MinesureIO

Stoppage cost and return are MinesureIO model estimates for a mid-sized operation, to be validated during pilots.
