Digital integration of critical control verification within Australian mining regulatory frameworks

Session 6C · Stream C Tuesday 6 October, 10:20am-10:40am Golden Ballroom - South

Naaman Shibi is the general manager of Techs4biz Australia, the provider of Pervidi, a leading digital and AI-powered inspection platform. With over twenty-five years of experience in inspection digitisation and mobile workforce solutions, Naaman works closely with asset managers and safety professionals to modernise compliance and improve operational safety. He specialises in the digital transformation of safety workflows, specifically bridging the gap between theoretical risk management and field-level execution.

His work focuses on the application of mobile technology, AI-assisted tools, and predictive analytics to reduce administrative burden while increasing data accuracy. Naaman is passionate about human-centric innovation, leveraging the devices workforces already use to create seamless safety assurance frameworks that fulfil due diligence obligations under modern WHS legislation.

A regular contributor to industry events, Naaman shares practical insights on how emerging technologies like voice-enabled and image-recognition AI are shaping the next generation of safety outcomes. He is committed to helping organisations transition from reactive compliance to proactive, data-driven safety leadership, so critical control management remains an active and sustained process.

The Verification Gap

Your risk register says the controls exist. Does the field agree?

Most sites can produce a bowtie for every principal hazard. Far fewer can prove, on demand, that every critical control on that bowtie was actually checked, working, and signed off this shift.

Documented, not demonstrated

Critical controls live in a risk register or a PHMP. Whether they're demonstrably in place at the workface is a separate, paper-based question that rarely gets asked with the same rigour.

Verification lags the shift

A control that failed on nightshift is often only discovered days later, at the next scheduled audit, once a paper form finally makes it into a spreadsheet.

Systems that don't talk

The risk register, the inspection checklist, and the corrective action tracker usually sit in three different systems, so a failed control rarely closes the loop back to the hazard it protects against.

How Pervidi Helps

From bowtie to field checklist to closed-out action

Pervidi turns each critical control into a mobile checklist item that field teams actually complete, with the evidence and escalation built in.

Map each principal hazard to a field checklist

Build a digital verification form for every critical control on the bowtie, so the field crew checks exactly what the risk assessment says matters.

Verify controls offline, underground or at the pit

Pervidi is a true offline-first native app, so verification is completed the moment it happens, wherever the crew is standing, with no signal required.

Raise a corrective action the moment a control fails

A failed critical control automatically raises a corrective action, assigns an owner, and tracks it through to close-out, directly from the inspection finding.

See verification status across every hazard, live

A real-time dashboard shows which critical controls have been verified this shift, which are overdue, and which have open corrective actions, across every site.

Capture photo evidence against every control

Timestamped, geo-tagged photos attach directly to the verification record, so a regulator or auditor can see the evidence, not just the checkbox.

Link controls back to the asset they protect

Tie a critical control to the specific asset or plant item it applies to, so service history, prior failures, and open work orders are visible in the same view.

Built For

Wherever critical control ownership sits on your site

Mining Executives & Operational Leaders

One dashboard showing critical control health and open corrective actions across every site, without waiting on a monthly report.

HSE & WHS Managers

Turn your principal hazard management plans into checklists your crews will actually complete, with evidence attached automatically.

Risk, Compliance & Critical Control Teams

Keep the bowtie and the field checklist in sync, with a full audit trail showing exactly when each control was last verified.

Digital Transformation Leaders

Deploy on-premises or in the cloud, integrate with SAP, Oracle, and other ERP systems, and roll out to crews without a lengthy change programme.

Common Questions

Critical Control Verification: FAQ

Where can I see Pervidi speak at AusIMM IMHS 2026?

Naaman Shibi, General Manager of Techs4biz · Pervidi, presents Session 6C, "Digital integration of critical control verification within Australian mining regulatory frameworks," Tuesday 6 October, 10:20am-10:40am, Golden Ballroom - South, Pan Pacific Perth. Book a meeting with the team while you're at the conference.

What is critical control verification, and how is it different from a general safety inspection?

Critical control verification is the specific act of confirming that the controls identified against a principal hazard in a bowtie, such as ground support, isolation, or proximity detection, are in place and functioning, rather than a general walk-around inspection. Pervidi lets you build a dedicated digital checklist for each critical control so it is checked and evidenced on its own terms.

Can Pervidi verify controls underground or at remote sites with no connectivity?

Yes. Pervidi is a true offline-first native app, not a web app that needs a connection to function. Verification checklists complete underground or on remote pits with zero signal, and sync automatically once connectivity is restored.

What happens when a critical control fails verification?

A failed item automatically raises a corrective action with an assigned owner and due date, tracked through to close-out. Nothing sits in an inbox waiting to be transcribed into a separate action register.

Does Pervidi integrate with our existing risk register or ERP system?

Pervidi integrates with SAP, Oracle, and other ERP systems, and can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud depending on how your organisation manages risk and asset data today.

Can Pervidi show verification trends across multiple sites and hazards?

Yes. Pervidi's AI comparison reports track verification results and control performance across inspection runs, sites, and time periods, so patterns and repeat failures surface before they become an incident.
