Clean Air in Mining, Energy, and Resources: Moving Beyond Compliance with CabSafe
One of the most pressing challenges in mining today is air quality management, particularly within vehicle cabins. Operators spend long hours in enclosed spaces, often surrounded by dust and particulate matter that can silently threaten their health and well-being. With the introduction of ISO 23875, the industry has been given a clear framework for ensuring safer cabin environments.
At NB Industries, we’ve seen first-hand how difficult it can be to manage air quality across large, remote fleets. That’s why we’re partnering with CabSafe—a practical, data-driven solution that takes the guesswork out of compliance.
Our goal isn’t to overcomplicate things. It’s to make it simpler, more efficient, and less disruptive for you to do what you’re already committed to doing: keeping your people safe while running a smooth operation.
ISO 23875 in Practice
By now, fleet managers and operators across the mining, energy, and resources sectors are familiar with ISO 23875. The standard ensures cabins remain pressurised and free from harmful particulate matter like PM2.5 and Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS).But knowing the standard is one thing. Achieving and maintaining compliance—especially across fleets operating in remote locations—is a different challenge entirely.
Questions like “Which cabins are at risk?” or “How do we ensure compliance day-to-day?” aren’t solved with generic solutions. That’s where CabSafe comes in.
Why CabSafe Works
CabSafe isn’t just another shiny tech product—it’s built for the realities of the mining, energy, and resources sectors. Designed for tough conditions and minimal downtime, CabSafe is simple, practical, and effective.
Here’s why it works:
- Quick to Deploy: Install CabSafe in less than 15 minutes, minimising interruptions to productivity.
- Data You Can Use: Tracks particulate levels, cabin pressure, and key metrics so you can pinpoint and address issues proactively.
- Offline Functionality: Operates even in connectivity dead zones, syncing seamlessly when back online.
- Low Maintenance: Runs on minimal power, with solar options for the most remote locations.
Looking Beyond Compliance
While ISO 23875 may be the immediate driver, the true motivation runs deeper. Clean air in cabins is about protecting the people who keep the mining, energy, and resources sectors moving.
Here’s what that looks like:
- For Operators: Safer, healthier conditions mean better focus and reduced long-term health risks.
- For Fleets: Reducing dust exposure extends equipment lifespan, lowers maintenance costs, and minimises downtime.
- For Operations: Proactively managing air quality avoids disruption, ensuring compliance and efficiency go hand in hand.
