Workplace Safety Management That Works: Why Leading WA Operators Rely on ISH24 Safety & Rescue

 

Workplace Safety Management That Works: Why Leading WA Operators Rely on ISH24 Safety & Rescue

Operational risks are high, and safety is non-negotiable in the Pilbara. Having the right safety partner isn’t just a choice—it’s a business imperative.

At ISH24 Safety & Rescue, we don’t just tick boxes. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with your team to build practical, compliant, and fully integrated workplace safety management systems that actually work in the field—not just on paper.

From high-risk shutdowns and emergency response preparedness to on-site training and documentation compliance, we provide structured, end-to-end safety management tailored to the unique needs of the mining sector.

Here’s how we help WA’s leading operators stay safe, ready, and in full control.


Built for the Field: Practical Safety Solutions That Go Beyond the Office

We know what it takes to keep people safe on-site—because we’ve been there.

ISH24 was founded by industry professionals with real-world mining and shutdown experience, not just consultancy credentials. That’s why our solutions are practical, actionable, and site-ready, designed to integrate smoothly with your daily operations and existing procedures.

We bridge the gap between compliance and practicality, ensuring your safety systems are as functional as they are auditable.


How ISH24 Redefines Safety in High-Risk Environments

ISH24 offers the following services to support safety and operations Australia-wide:

Confined Space Management & Shutdowns

Sentry Control Room

An operational hub that ISH24 sets up for each project, which becomes our central operations office for the duration of the works. Most importantly, the control room hosts the Sentry Control Board, which allows supervisors to know where all our on-site staff are located at all times, as well as the exact job and permit number they are assigned to.

How do we excel at the role?

  • Ensures any confined space documentation (including permits, JSAs, etc.) is clear and valid, and matches all compliance requirements
  • Confirms that all qualifications of those entering the confined spaces are valid.
  • The ISH24 comprehensive checklist provided to each sentry ensures no detail is overlooked and complacency is eliminated.
  • All entries into and exits out of the confined spaces being monitored are immediately reported to the sentry control board for up-to-the-minute accuracy.
  • Atmosphere testing is continuously monitored to ensure the safety of those working inside the confined space.
  • ISH24 sentries are always diligent in ensuring the crew is signed on/off the permits, as well as locked on/off any equipment.

Our Confined Space Sentries undergo rigorous training to maintain constant vigilance over their assigned confined spaces. Their primary responsibility is to ensure full compliance with client requirements and Australian Standards.

ISH24 Sentry Connect

ISH24 Sentry Connect™ is the latest technology created by ISH24, allowing an innovative approach to monitoring multiple confined spaces in any location.

Perfect for remote sites & heavy industrial shutdowns with limited resources for space, accommodation, mobilisation & other logistics, potentially saving clients thousands of dollars each outage.

This solution equips Sentry, Site Control, and Emergency Response Teams with comprehensive visibility into onsite conditions, allowing for proactive management of safety risks and improved response times.

Sentry Connect allows one Sentry to monitor up to 4 spaces at the same time, with real-time atmospheric readings being displayed on the Sentry Tablet.

The platform also enables the integration of multiple devices and data feeds into a single user interface.

The Sentry Connect system can be integrated with monitoring equipment suitable for:

  • Gas Detection (including the new MSA ALTAIR io™ 4)
  • Dust & Silica (Trolex XD, XS, XD1+)
  • Asbestos (Alert Pro Technologies)
  • Weather (BOM data or AQ Mesh Station)
  • Noise (Casella in testing)
  • Heat Stress (Kenzen in testing)

________________________________________________________________________________

Atmosphere Gas Testing

Our stringent procedure for initial atmosphere gas testing of confined spaces ensures all critical path works defined by our clients are met. As the permits come online, ISH24 will conduct an initial gas test in each space to ensure it is safe for the crew to enter.

Our gas testers communicate with plant supervisors and permit issuers/holders to ensure that the test is conducted and recorded, and that an ISH24 Confined Space Sensor is in position once the space is confirmed to be ready.

To keep the test current, we renew it before the start of every shift and before the current test expires, which helps avoid unnecessary delays. This is managed through our Sentry Control Room, where we have time clocks that alarm an hour before the tests expire.

________________________________________________________________________________

Labour & Clean Up Crews

IS24 offers clean-up services before, during, and after shutdowns. Our experienced crew helps prepare confined spaces for maintenance and inspections by cleaning out vessels, performing hosing and shovelling works, conducting general clean-up, and removing rubbish.

With well-trained personnel, proper safety equipment, and effective planning, ISH24 can safely handle toxic environments and clean chemical storage tanks. Our stringent systems ensure this high-risk work is executed safely, accurately, and efficiently.

Drone Inspections

ISH24 is proud to present Elios by Flyability—the first collision-tolerant drone designed for the inspection and exploration of the most inaccessible places. It allows you to fly in complex, cluttered, or indoor spaces for the first time.

Camera 

  • Close-up images with a precise resolution of 0.2mm/px
  • Live video stream to the pilot & video recording onto the SD card attached to the drone head
  • Full HD camera with excellent performance in low light, and exposure adjustment is  possible from ground control
  • Thermal camera allows detection of cracks invisible to the human eye or human bodies that are hard to see in poor visibility conditions
  • The flexible camera head allows the drone to capture images from above and below. The full HD camera offers a total field of view of 215º and a horizontal field of view of 130º, while the thermal camera offers a total vertical field of view of 182º and a horizontal field of view of 56º.
  • Onboard adjustable lighting allows the exploration of pitch-black environments. Powerful onboard LED lights eliminate the need for external lighting, illuminating the scene in all directions you look.

Wireless Communication

It is possible to fly Elios over 100 meters above the ground in a closed space with the pilot safely standing outside next to the entrance. Since every use case has its specificities, the following examples provide an idea of the drone’s wireless communication range:

  • Over 150 m in a chimney while staying at the base.
  • Over 150 m in tunnels comprising small curves.
  • Tens of meters away in a metallic ballast tank, multiple compartments away.
  • Multiple rooms away in a standard building, up a flight of stairs.

Our goal? To make sure your team knows exactly what to do—and has the tools to do it—when the pressure is on.
