Assmang Beeshoek

Overview

Beeshoek deployed SmartCap in 2014 to assist in gauging the fatigue risk on-site and empowering the workforce to proactively self-manage. Leading up to the deployment, the site had suffered from a number of incidents involving operators returning to work after extended periods of leave.

Outcomes

Beeshoek have seen a significant reduction in fatigue incidents on-site. Workforce engagement has greatly improved as a result of the inclusive change management process.  

Challenges

• Limited literacy amongst the workforce has required a heavy emphasis on training via demonstration.
• High staff turnover makes long-term improvements difficult to guage.
