Mining
140,000+ Employees
Recruit Safe People
Cognitive & Safety Assessments & Video Interviewing
In 2 Decades
Reduction in Time Lost to Injury
Reduction in Occupational Diseases (OD)
Reduction in Total Recordable Injury (TRI)
After recording its highest rate of onsite injuries in a single year, our mining client required a solution that would allow them to find candidates and assess their safety and cognitive abilities in order to only hire the safest talent.
The aim of the project was to ensure safety across the business by decreasing the potential for accidents and reduce the considerable Lost Time to Injury (LTI) ultimately caused by human error.
In addition, due to the likelihood of injury and the mine’s remote location, the candidate attraction rate for the client’s apprentice and vocational roles was very low. The mine where the roles were located is one of the largest zinc mines in the world with an estimated 650 million tonnes of resources (measured, indicated and inferred); and provide jobs for more than 1,200 employees and contractors. Correctly assessing candidates and reducing the likelihood of human error would greatly reduce the risk to the mine workers’ well-being.
The mining company required a solution to these challenges and to prevent such injury rates from occurring again in the future. The company understood that to achieve its goals, it had to make considerable adjustments to its hiring process.
Testgrid started working with the company and focussed on 3 areas:
1. Identifying the most suitable candidates based on safe behaviours and cognitive ability assessments
2. Reducing accidents and near misses
3. Making assessments accessible to remote working candidates
Testgrid worked with the company to develop a testing matrix and a strategy to find ideal candidates.
The strategy included:
The assessments used would measure levels of cognitive ability with Abstract Reasoning and safety using Situational Safety Assessments (SSA). The matrix allowed a range of tools to be used to suit the seniority of roles and the key competencies that were required.
Working directly with Testgrid, the company was able to increase the impact of the Digital Assessments whilst only using a single testing platform and provider. The strategy agreed upon was to hire a safer workforce rather than training them at a later stage.
Candidate safety was measured using Situational Safety Assessments (SSA). These assessments highlight the traits that make a safe person and measure the candidate against this benchmark. A report is then generated that demonstrates candidates’ safety level based on a multitude of personality, cognitive and behavioural factors.
The employer is then able to analyse the risk associated with candidates and decide whether to progress them to the next stage of the selection process based on such traits as how likely they are to make mistakes, get fatigued or be impulsive.
Cognitive assessments were imperative to the success of the project, as they are crucial in determining whether candidates have the ability to do the work but most importantly, do the work safely.
The assessments included:
One-way video interviewing allowed our client to interview multiple candidates quickly without the candidate having to travel to the mine and as the hiring manager only had to look through a series of short videos, this allowed more candidates to be interviewed and progression decisions made faster.
Major incidents or tragic events are down since the launch of the project and the company continues to improve safety in every aspect of its operations.Testgrid continues to work with the company to ensure only safe employees are hired and to look for new ways to improve hiring for safety.
The company was able to launch their own safety initiative aimed at changing attitudes towards safety across the group. Through the initiative, the company aims to bring about long-term, sustainable change, to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries. The initiative is designed to give everyone in their business the tools and knowledge to perform their tasks safely. Above all, every individual is empowered to stop unsafe work.
As a result of executing this recruitment strategy, the mining company’s injuries remain at an all-time low.

Scott is a Senior Lecturer at UniSA, currently responsible for the first year accounting course Financial Accounting 1, and is co-chair of AFAANZ’s Accounting Education Special Interest Group.
The project originated from Scott’s desire to improve student communication skills through video responses. Testgrid’s Vieple product was used as a solution for adapting to unsupervised exams and fostering meaningful communication throughout the course.
We sat down to talk to Scott about his experience in using Vieple with his students and what the feedback was like from both sides.
