Challenges in the mining industry
The African mining industry faces numerous challenges, including health risks emanating from mining activities. In this context, Chemrade offers an innovative solution that helps companies proactively manage chemical risks. By integrating Chemrade's software into their services, Sedulitas ensures that companies can improve the complex processes of risk management and compliance. "The beauty lies in the simplicity of the system," says a representative of Sedulitas.
From spreadsheets to smart software
Traditional methods for chemical risk management, such as Excel spreadsheets, often fall short. Chemrade's platform uses validated models and algorithms to assess risks and offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the transition to digital management. "It's not just a software solution; it's a platform that empowers users to make good decisions independently," says Jacobs (Sedulitas). Due to its accessibility and built-in expertise, risk assessment becomes a task that can be easily performed by the end user.
Local approach
One of Sedulitas' strengths is its extensive and personalized customer support. In a sector where local knowledge and context are crucial for success, Sedulitas acts as a bridge between Chemrade and the local mining companies. They not only provide technical support but also help overcome cultural and linguistic barriers. This unique approach ensures smooth implementation and higher user acceptance of the platform.
A healthy future
Chemrade and Sedulitas have already successfully assisted three mining companies in implementing the Chemrade platform, all of which have renewed their licenses for 2024. This demonstrates the confidence that companies have in the value and effectiveness of the platform. "The partnership with Chemrade has not only helped us achieve our goals but has also opened doors for significant progress in our sector," concludes Peter-John Jacobs of Sedulitas.
By working together, Chemrade and Sedulitas ensure that workers in Africa are better protected against the dangers of chemicals, contributing to a healthier and safer work environment.
