The Guinea Alumina Corporation (GAC) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EGA, one of the world’s largest premium aluminium producers, and is currently developing a bauxite mine and associated export facilities in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa in the first phase of their investment in the country.
GAC’s concession is in the Boké region of north-western Guinea, close to existing mines that are operated by other companies.
It contains approximately 1.4 billion tonnes of high-quality bauxite resources, and is a project that is one of the largest greenfield investments in Guinea and is contributing considerably to Guinea’s Gross Domestic Product by creating job opportunities directly and indirectly in the supply chain and the wider economy.
We spoke to Miguel Augusto, Health and Safety superintendent, from Guinea Alumina Corporation about their need for a workforce management solution to improve their compliance, reduce their risk and increase their productivity.
Guinea Alumina uses INX InControl for safety, risk and compliance, INX InHealth for industrial hygiene and medical surveillance and INX +Analytics (now INX +BI) for advanced reporting and analysis.
Key highlights of the solution which have assisted Guinea Alumina include automatic alerts sent in professional emails at each stage of the managing an event, the multiple functionalities available that go beyond incident investigations to lessons learned, and the visibility for many employees to see and read important information about an event and actions.
INX was selected as it satisfied all set criteria and for the quality of its service and solutions.
Having previously relied on manual processes and spreadsheets, we now have a fully automated and centralised solution for our health, safety and compliance management. The service and solutions provided by INX sees them leading the way in this space and I would highly recommend them.
Let us know where we can send your INX InControl brochure to.
