Unlocking the Full Potential of ICAM with Site Specific Custom ICAM Codes
At Mine Guard AI, we are always exploring ways to enhance safety through innovation. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we have selected to trial the Human Performance Factors developed by the New South Wales regulator, with the expertise of the Keil Centre. Our goal is to integrate these factors into incident investigations using ICAM Expert, to not only understand what happened but also to find opportunities for improving design, process, and tools to prevent the reoccurrence of incidents.
Example in Action: Custom Coding Integration
In a recent rockfall incident at an open-cut mine, our team used ICAM Expert to seamlessly integrate the customer’s ICAM coding definitions alongside the trialed human performance factors. Here’s how we categorized the findings:
PR2: Procedure accuracy or completeness
SM1: Risk management arrangements
EC1: Environmental conditions (e.g., weather)
These codes were automatically mapped in ICAM Expert, aligning with our focus on improving operational design and identifying process improvements that can be made to prevent similar incidents in the future.
ICAM Expert advanced AI model assigned and summarized the ICAM codes as per human performance factors within seconds.
Why Custom Coding and Human Performance Factors Matter
The integration of custom coding definitions and human performance factors is pivotal in ensuring that investigations go beyond identifying the immediate causes of incidents. It allows us to dig deeper into human factors and system design flaws that could be addressed to prevent recurrence. This trial offers several benefits:
Improved Accuracy & Consistency By using predefined human performance factors, investigations are more thorough, leading to consistent results that highlight opportunities for eliminating systemic issues.
Enhanced Reporting & Actionable Insights ICAM Expert’s integration ensures that reports provide actionable insights—such as where to improve processes, designs, or tools—to prevent future incidents.
Alignment with Regulatory Best Practices We are happy to connect you to the best in practice human performance factor trainers like Keil Centre.
Scalability & Flexibility This integration is adaptable across different sites and operations, providing a scalable solution that can evolve alongside safety practices and regulatory requirements.
Continuous Learning & Improvement As we continue to trial human performance factors, we are finding new ways to continuously improve our safety processes. The ability to integrate new insights without disrupting existing workflows is one of ICAM Expert’s greatest strengths.
Conclusion
At Mine Guard AI, we believe in pushing the boundaries of safety innovation. With ICAM Expert, we’re not only integrating custom coding definitions but also trialing human performance factors to ensure that each investigation uncovers deeper opportunities for safety improvement. This trial is a step toward making incident investigations more insightful, actionable, and aligned with the best safety practices in the industry.
