ASX-listed iron ore producer Fortescue Metals Group Ltd has rolled out Deloitte Bamboo across the company two mine sites operations and expansion areas. The application will be accessed and used by a growing team of employees as the company expands.
Mr Nev Power CEO of Fortescue said “The rollout of Bamboo was part of the company's strong commitment to excellence in safety and emergency response in the mining sector.”
He said that “We believe the key to its effectiveness is how it allows our people, during an incident to easily access critical information from their mobile devices while improving our leaders response times."
Deloitte Risk Services Partner Oliver Binz said “Bamboo was designed to create clarity during an emergency situation. This tool is about helping employees and employers access critical information in an emergency when they need it. Using push technology, it ensures that people have the latest up to date information right there on their smartphone.”
Mr Binz said “Paper based plans have lots on limitations. Even if you can keep them up to date, most people simply don’t have access to the files when they need them most. Many Queensland businesses learnt this the hard way during the Christmas floods and Cyclone Yasi. With Bamboo and staff are able to access their individual action plans, regardless of location or mobile network connectivity.”
He said that “Bamboo also leverages the capabilities of smart devices to deliver many additional benefits, such as being able to locate team members subject to network availability, direct people to evacuation sites or communicate easily with specific teams using email, SMS or phone.”
He added that “For organisations, effective incident management is all about minimising the negative impact on its people, its customers and its operations. Bamboo does exactly that.
He also said “We are very proud to have received recognition in the form of this award, and also to be working with Australian mining icon Fortescue.”
