About Risk Mentor
From the front line to the board, one picture.
Risk Mentor works with the people who do the work to connect what they know about the risks, your requirements and the everyday work, so crews and leaders decide from the same picture.
What we bring
Control Framework expertise
We help you set out the state your operations have to be in to be safe and productive, how that state can be compromised, and the Business Inputs (controls and control supports) that keep it in place.
Implementation support
We work alongside your people, from the first workshop to workflows in daily use, and stay while the new way of working settles in.
Connected field workflows
The Digital System Master holds your standards as an agreed point of truth. Field Portal workflows, built with your crews, take them to the work. Governance and performance reporting reads the same record.
We connect the systems and records you already have. We don't replace them.
How we work
- Front line first. Workflows are built with the crews who use them, in the order the work happens.
- Your people know the risks. We help connect that knowledge to the work, at the step where it matters.
- Start from your most pressing need, then build towards stronger operational data.
- Each step is useful on its own and a separate decision.
Where we work
Mining and electricity distribution, and other high-hazard operations, around the world. We have worked with PowerNet in New Zealand since 2016, and supported the ICMM Innovation for Cleaner, Safer Vehicles programme, including workshops and three leading site cohorts.
