WA Mining Safety AI

CalibrAIte is an AI platform built specifically for Western Australian mining safety compliance. It indexes 15,784 regulatory chunks from 716 WA sources including the WHS Act 2020, WHS (Mines) Regulations 2022, and DMPE guidance material. Every answer is cited to its source with legal weight classification.

Unlike generic AI tools, CalibrAIte is calibrated to your specific mine site — your hazard register, procedures, and incident history inform every response.

What is mining safety AI?

Mining safety AI applies artificial intelligence to the operational safety challenges that mine sites face every day. This includes:

• Classifying incidents against WA regulatory requirements automatically
• Answering safety compliance questions with cited regulatory sources
• Identifying trends and risk patterns across incident data
• Preparing audit-ready evidence packs for MSMS and PMHMP assessments
• Generating WHS reporting forms from plain-text incident descriptions

The key difference between mining safety AI and generic AI assistants is regulatory specificity. A general-purpose tool cannot reliably cite the correct section of the WHS (Mines) Regulations 2022 or distinguish between a notifiable incident under s.35 and a reportable situation under the Mines Regulations.

How does CalibrAIte work for WA mine sites?

CalibrAIte operates on a three-layer calibration model:

1. Regulatory base layer — 15,784 chunks from 716 WA sources, weighted by legal authority. Legislation gets a 1.35x relevance boost over general resources.
2. Company knowledge layer — Your company policies, standards, and procedures are uploaded and embedded alongside the regulatory corpus.
3. Site knowledge layer — Your MSMS, site-specific SOPs, hazard registers, and past incidents get a 1.5x relevance boost for site-calibrated answers.

This means CalibrAIte gets more accurate the longer you use it. Your incident data, procedures, and site context continuously improve the AI's understanding of your specific operation.

What regulations does CalibrAIte cover?

• WHS Act 2020 (WA) — primary legislation
• WHS (Mines) Regulations 2022 — mine-specific regulations
• WHS (General) Regulations 2022
• Approved codes of practice (confined spaces, hazardous chemicals, noise, manual handling, etc.)
• DMPE guidance material and guidelines
• Safety alerts, bulletins, and significant incident reports
• Audit guides and templates
• Prosecution and enforcement records

Sources are colour-coded by legal weight: legislation (red), approved codes (orange), guides (blue), alerts (yellow), and resources (grey). This helps safety teams understand the authority of each cited source at a glance.

How is CalibrAIte different from generic AI like ChatGPT?

Generic AI tools produce fluent-sounding answers but regularly hallucinate legal requirements. They cannot cite specific regulation sections, they don't know which version of WA legislation is current, and they have no concept of legal weight hierarchies.

CalibrAIte is fundamentally different:

• Every answer cites specific legislation, codes, or guidance material
• If no source exists for a claim, CalibrAIte says "I could not verify this from the indexed documents"
• Sources are weighted by legal authority — legislation always outranks general guidance
• Answers are calibrated to your specific site, not generic mining knowledge
• All data is hosted in Australia with zero offshore processing

Who uses mining safety AI?

CalibrAIte is used by safety professionals across the WA mining industry:

• HSE managers running compliance programs across multiple sites
• Site safety officers handling daily incident reports and regulatory queries
• Supervisors conducting toolbox talks and pre-start assessments
• Safety consultants delivering audits for mining contractors
• Workers reporting near-misses and hazards via mobile or QR code
