LKAB Svappavaara strengthens its safety culture with SSG On site

The app improves security in many ways

Heléne Rundgren, Work Environment Developer at LKAB Svappavaara, has been closely involved in their efforts. She shares her thoughts here and explains how SSG On site has improved operations.

– In the mining industry, we work across very large areas and we have many
contractors working for us every year. By introducing SSG On site at our company, we have been able to digitalise communication about safety and work routines. We believe this can improve safety in many ways.

Why SSG On site makes it easier to work with work environment issues

• Common portal for all contractors and LKAB employees
• Relevant and up-to-date safety information, which we see more people accessing
• Push notifications make it easy for us to inform people about our weekly blasts. 

“It works very well and smoothly. As a maintenance technician, I have daily contact with contractors. The push notifications that remind people of blasting have been very useful to us in our daily work.”

Georgeta Pop, Maintenance Engineer at LKAB Svappavaara. 

These features are perfect for those like us who work in maintenance

Easily store routines in the app

– Contractors can easily find our work routines and relevant procedures, for example, the lockout/tagout at the Svappavaara site.

The map

– Contractors can easily see the important parts of the area in the app.

Connection with the Access system

– Synchronisation with the Access system and our courses required for access. If any contractor wants to know more or read our safety information afterwards, they can do so in the app.

Do you recommend the service to other companies? 
– Yes! It has made things much easier here at LKAB Svappavaara.
