How One Mining Company Took Back Control of Safety
A Canadian mining company struggled with workers hiding gas detectors to avoid accountability, putting safety at risk and driving up equipment costs. Despite having a system in place to track usage, missing data made it nearly impossible to enforce safety protocols. That changed when they partnered with Industrial Scientific—and found a way to turn the tide.
