TORONTO, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Dyadem, the market leader in Quality Lifecycle Management and Risk Lifecycle Management solutions today announced it has signed a new deal with Centennial Coal Company Limited, the largest independent coal producer in Australia.
Dyadem's software was selected by Centennial to conduct risk assessments and provide management solutions to minimise risk and maintain safety at its 12 New South Wales-based mine sites. The ability to monitor and mitigate risks related to job safety, process hazards, machinery reliability and other operational and environmental aspects allows Centennial Coal to develop vital risk profiles for each of their sites. These profiles will assist Centennial to improve safety, increase mine productivity and protect the environment and therefore support a sustainable business model.
Reducing risk and improving safety are the hallmarks of the mining industry. In addition to monitoring mine ventilation, nauseous gases and other mining related hazards, Centennial is committed to sustainable development and is diligent in preventing, monitoring and reducing any environmental impacts. Using Dyadem's risk assessment and management solutions, Centennial can evaluate procedures closely, and easily identify any high-risk processes which may result in an impact on the environment. This will ensure each sites regulatory compliance and further support the company's place as a responsible corporate citizen.
"Managing safety standards and eliminating risk factors is an important part of our management philosophy," said John Hempenstall, Chief Risk Officer for Centennial Coal. "Our emphasis at Centennial Coal is to stay ahead of the regulator. We don't wait for them to tell us how to make it safe -- we take steps to ensure we are safe and environmentally responsible."
With 12 sites spread across New South Wales, Australia, maintaining consistent risk management standards and proactively identifying high-risk factors has been a time-consuming and resource intensive process for Centennial Coal. Dyadem's risk assessment and management solutions connect a variety of risk assessment methodologies together enabling Centennial Coal to use a single, integrated platform for managing risk across all its locations.
"Standardization and user-friendliness were our top priorities when we chose new Risk Lifecycle Management software," said Hempenstall. "Each of our 1600 employees shares the responsibility of reducing risk at our facilities. Dyadem's software empowers our managers by cutting down on the time they are spending on paperwork and providing a consistent format for everyone."
"In the mining industry, managing risk is crucial not just as a compliance requirement. It is part of being a responsible corporate citizen," said Kevin North, President and CEO of Dyadem. "Our software will assist Centennial to maintain its firm commitment to safety and risk management."
