Targeted Training Strengthens Safety at Uranium Producer
Background
A global uranium company wanted to modernize operations and keep a strong safety record while moving toward Industry 4.0.
Challenge
- Improve day-to-day resource use without risking people or the environment.
- Fold new tech into existing work so teams could keep pace without chaos.
Approach
Jeruel designed a focused Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices program with an exam-prep track. The plan centered on safe work, clear routines, and practical tools managers could apply on site the same week.
What we taught
- Resource management for critical assets, with simple checklists and visual controls.
- Safe adoption of IoT, AI, and robotics, using pilot-first playbooks and handover steps.
- Work management and equipment reliability aligned to SMRP pillars and ISO 55000.
- Short lessons, case work, and quick checks to confirm understanding.
- Communication habits for briefs, risk trade-offs, and leadership updates.
Implementation
A cohort of mid-level managers completed interactive sessions, site-ready exercises, and ongoing assessments. Delivery was phased to avoid production impact and to reinforce learning between sessions.
Results
- Resource planning became clearer, with less waste and steadier output.
- New tools fit into existing workflows with fewer disruptions.
- Safety practices tightened, and teams followed procedures more consistently.
- Managers gained a shared language for maintenance and reliability, so decisions moved faster.
Conclusion
The company built confident managers, safer routines, and smoother tech adoption. The gains continue as teams apply the same methods to new assets and systems.
