Underground miners hundreds of metres below the surface. Blasters working alone in remote pits. Equipment operators on night shifts with no one nearby.
Trusted by mining companies across Canada
Underground tunnels with no communication, remote surface pits, overnight processing plants — mining workers are alone in some of the most dangerous environments on earth.
Miner 500 metres below the surface loses consciousness from gas exposure — radio dead zones, no cell signal, crew is two levels away
Timed check-ins ensure missed signals trigger immediate surface response.
Equipment operator alone at a pit face 40 km from the nearest town — rollover, rockfall, medical emergency
Satellite check-ins keep operators connected across vast open pits.
Blaster working alone to set charges — misfire risk, fly rock, re-entry timing
Missed check-in triggers immediate investigation by the monitoring centre.
Solo operator monitoring a crusher or mill overnight — equipment malfunction, chemical exposure, slip on wet surfaces
Fall detection doesn't require a conscious button press.
Geologist or drill crew in fly-in-only territory — days from medical help, no cell coverage, wildlife encounters
24/7 monitoring with emergency dispatch to exact GPS coordinates.
From underground miners to remote exploration crews — everyone who works alone on site.

The Safe Alone app, satellite coverage for remote mines, SOS wearable with fall detection, phone check-ins, and a live monitoring dashboard that tracks every worker on site.
One-tap check-ins, instant panic button, and GPS tracking — all from your worker's smartphone.
See who's active, who's checked in, and who needs attention — all on one screen. Map view with live GPS, status indicators, and compliance reports.
Underground operations, remote pits, and fly-in exploration sites
Automatic fall and impact detection for underground and surface workers
Surface office, dispatch phone, or any landline
A simple, proven system that keeps your lone workers connected and protected — every shift, every day.
Miners receive scheduled check-in prompts via the satellite device, the app, or a phone call. One tap confirms they're safe — giving surface operations peace of mind between shifts.
Missed check-in? Our system immediately flags it. No delay, no assumptions — just instant awareness.
Our ULC-certified operators call the worker, then escalate to supervisors. Real humans, real follow-through.
Every incident is documented. Every worker is accounted for. Peace of mind — backed by 55+ years of expertise.
ULC 5-Diamond certified. When someone misses a check-in, our operators are already calling — not sending another notification.
Over 3.7 million safety checks completed annually across 900+ Canadian organizations.
Over 55 years of security expertise. A proven safety partner for Canadian organizations.
GOLD MINING OPERATION — TIMMINS
"CheckMate solved a problem we've been trying to fix for years — reliable communication with our underground crews. The satellite devices work where nothing else does."
JUNIOR MINING COMPANY — YUKON
"When our geologist had a quad rollover 60 km from camp, the SOS wearable triggered an automatic alert. Rescue helicopter was dispatched to his exact coordinates within 15 minutes."
MINERAL PROCESSING FACILITY — SUDBURY
"We run a 24/7 processing plant with skeleton crews overnight. Man-down detection gives us peace of mind that no one is lying injured on the mill floor for hours."
Yes. The SOS wearable and satellite devices are designed for environments where traditional communication fails. Underground, the SOS wearable provides fall detection and panic alerts that relay through the mine's surface infrastructure. For surface operations and remote sites, satellite check-ins work anywhere in Canada with no cell tower required.
The SOS wearable uses motion sensors to detect sudden impacts, falls, and prolonged lack of movement (man-down). If a worker is knocked unconscious by a rockfall, equipment incident, or gas exposure, the device automatically triggers an alert — no button press needed. The 24/7 monitoring centre receives the alert with the worker's last known location and dispatches help immediately.
Yes. The monitoring dashboard gives you a real-time view of every worker across all your sites — underground operations, surface pits, processing plants, and remote exploration camps. Each site can have its own check-in schedules, alert protocols, and escalation procedures while rolling up to a single company-wide view.
Mining operations across Canada are subject to both provincial occupational health and safety regulations and mining-specific safety codes. Most provinces require employers to have a system for checking on workers who work alone or in isolation — particularly in underground and remote surface operations. CheckMate provides the documentation, real-time monitoring, and emergency response that regulators expect.
Workers can use different CheckMate devices depending on their location. Underground, the SOS wearable provides fall detection and panic alerts. When they surface, the Safe Alone app on their phone takes over with GPS tracking and satellite check-ins for travel between sites. The monitoring dashboard shows each worker's status regardless of which device they're using.
Join Canadian mining companies who trust CheckMate to keep their workers safe — every shift, every site.
