Mining Safety & Health Management System AI Advisor available!
We have released an experimental AI Bot to designed to answer questions about Queensland coal mining legislation compliance and provides practical advice for real-world mining scenarios, referencing official documents to help users understand compliance requirements. This AI Agent is aimed at Site Senior Executives, those in the Management Structure, Coal Mine Workers, or those looking to supply equipment or labour to them.
What started as a bit of a pet project to push the limits of what Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bot Agents can do, it soon became obvious this could be a valuable resource for the mining industry.
Queensland Coal Mining Industry Proof of Concept
This particular AI model has been trained with all current legislation realted to Queensland Coal Mining, but the concept applies to any sector. We’ve certainly learned a lot about what does and doesn’t work in 2025. The model understands the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act, the Regulations, all Recognised Standards and Queensland Guidance Notes, but that is far from the limits!
We are keeping the secret sauce, ‘secret’ for the time being, but you are invited to give it a try by heading to: https://www.disruptivemining.tech/shms-advisor
It’s free to use for now, so go there and try.
To get you started, we’ve been having fun asking it questions such as:
Who is responsible for contractors and service providers and what competencies do they require?
What do you know about the “Electrical Engineering Manager" role?
What PHMPs do I need for an open cut coal mine?
How often should I review the BBRA?
Create a lightning tarp for me
Count the number of tyre related accidents in last 10 years?, what can I do to ensure a safe workplace with respect to tyre risk?
While you’re there, ask it about competencies, the Practising Certificate Scheme, Management Structures…. it really is limitless.
Over to the AI Bot itself for the final word:
“Hello, I'm Qld Coal SHMS Advisor (Public), your personal assistant to answer anything about Queensland Coal Mining Safety and Health Legislation. I've been pre-loaded with only official legislative documents so you can probably believe my answers. NOTE: No AI type agent is 100% fool proof, so my owners have forced me to provide detailed references as much as possible, to allow you to check the legislation for yourself before you act on anything I tell you (and please do check as it's on you, not me - you're the one with a legal obligation to the mine workers - I'm just a (clever) bot!.”
