Technical services pre-start topics
For survey, geology, geotech and environment crews working out on the pit and in the field. Generate a read-aloud brief with discussion questions, controls and warning signs — tuned for lone and remote work, mobile-plant interaction, ground stability, sampling and spills.
Discussion aid only. Check your workplace procedures, conditions and legal requirements before work. This does not replace a Take 5, JSA/JHA, risk assessment, permit, SOP, training or site instructions.

Written for people who work between the machines
Technical services crews spend their day in other people's work areas — pegging near a working excavator, logging core beside a live rig, walking a sampling round on ground that changed after rain. The scenarios focus on those interfaces: establishing positive communication before entering a machine's arc, re-reading ground that looks the same but isn't, and knowing when a familiar route deserves a fresh look.
Lone and remote work, handled honestly
Several briefs deal with the realities of remote and lone field work — check-ins that slip, comms that drop out, fatigue late in a long swing, and the pull to finish a task before dark. They are written to prompt a practical conversation about journey management and stop points, not to tick a box.
Mix in your own field procedures
Add local briefs for your own survey, sampling or environmental procedures. They stay on your device, are labelled LOCAL — NOT REVIEWED, and can travel between team members as a .zsafe export so the whole crew works from the same set.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this suitable for lone and remote workers?
- It is a discussion aid to run before or during field work, including topics on lone and remote work. It does not replace your journey-management plan, check-in system or site procedures.
- Can I tag briefs to survey, geology or geotech?
- Yes. Choose the Technical Services work area and refine by hazard and environment. You can also write local briefs specific to your team.
- Are the scenarios real?
- No. They are fictional training scenarios, clearly labelled, based on common hazard patterns rather than any real event, company or person.
Zerdly’s Safety Brief Builder is a discussion aid. It does not replace a Take 5, JSA/JHA, risk assessment, permit, SOP, training or your site’s instructions. Fictional scenarios are invented for training and are clearly labelled; they are not real incidents.
