Managing Director's Brief
Zoran Bebic
Managing Director
At Monadelphous, we have an unrelenting focus on finding safer ways of working and striving for zero harm to our people, driven by our core safety principle The Safe Way is the Only Way.
Identifying, mitigating and eliminating fatal risks is integral to this, ensuring we are actively monitoring hazards and consistently applying effective controls.
I am excited to share that we have successfully completed the installation phase and launch of the Driver Fatigue and Distraction Monitoring (DFDM) system across our sites, which are actively preventing incidents related to vehicle use. The Mix4000 systems have been installed in our light vehicles, trucks, buses, and articulated cranes, representing a significant step forward in our fatal risk control program and, most importantly, in keeping you and your teammates safe at work.
Following a thorough evaluation and trial process, this AI-enabled system was selected based on performance and reliability. It monitors driver alertness in real time and, if fatigue or distraction is detected, it immediately warns the driver through audio and seat vibrations, providing proactive intervention before incidents can occur.
We are already seeing positive results with the DFDM system in place, with an average of one verified fatigue event detected each week. This valuable tool complements our existing vehicle safety processes and controls, working hand in hand with driving skills and experience, as well as driver awareness and attention. I encourage you and your teams to continue to embrace the technology, as its role in preventing safety incidents is clear, together with planning your journey and maintaining vigilance whilst driving.
We have been able to achieve this important milestone thanks to the significant efforts and collaboration of our HSE, Procurement, Innovation, Assets and on-site leadership teams.
Moving forward, our focus is on extending the effectiveness of the system through reporting and the identification of data trends, so that we can continue to improve and leverage the value of this technology.
Thank you all for your ongoing commitment to ensuring that, at Monadelphous, the safe way truly is the only way.
