The gate check: what a site must know about everyone inside the fence.

When the regulator asks who was inside a hazard zone at 2:40 on Tuesday, the answer has to come from a record, not from memory. This is what a site has to know about everyone inside the fence, at the gate and all shift, and the one place it should live. It is written from AtSite, the safety platform built for Western Australian mining operations, where an emergency alert reaches the right people in under ten seconds.

Eleven things, every shift.

  1. Who is on site, and since when.Every person checked in at the gate with a time, not a signature on a clipboard that is read at the end of the month.
  2. Whether their induction is current.Site induction, area inductions and refreshers, checked against expiry at the gate, not discovered at the audit.
  3. Which contractor they work for, and that the contractor is compliant.Licences, insurances and certificates for the company and the person, current on the day.
  4. Which hazard zones are live right now.Blasting, live plant, confined space, vehicle interaction. Declared, time-bound, visible to supervisors.
  5. Who is inside each of them.In real time, from geofencing, with worker location data protected and used for safety alone. That protection is what makes crews keep the app on.
  6. The alert path.When something happens, the right people are told in seconds, not after a radio relay. AtSite delivers an emergency alert to the right people in under ten seconds.
  7. Who responds, and with what.Emergency roles for the shift, the equipment, the muster points, assigned before the shift starts.
  8. What was found at the last inspection.Inspections and incidents recorded at the time, with the photos, so the next shift starts from what the last one saw.
  9. The fatigue and fitness-for-work record.Hours on shift and the declarations the site requires, where the site requires them.
  10. The report the regulator asks for.Check-ins, inductions, incidents and inspections pulled into the report from the systems above, instead of reconstructed from paper at the end of the month.
  11. One record, protected, for every shift.Who was where, who was told, who responded. Kept, searchable, and with location data that never becomes surveillance.

What this looks like when it is built.

AtSite is a safety platform for Western Australian mining operations: automated check-ins, compliance reporting and emergency response in one place, built around privacy-first geofencing. The outcome that mattered most, real-time visibility of who is inside a hazard zone, was validated first, and reliability was tested in demanding field conditions before any crew relied on it. Emergency alerts reach the right people in under ten seconds, with pilots across multiple mine sites. Read the AtSite case study.

If the answer to "who is inside that zone right now" still depends on a supervisor and a radio, the first stage is two weeks on site to map the gate, the zones and the report, and put a commercial case on capturing them once. Where AI applies in mining.
