Safety First: Collision Avoidance Systems

Introduction:

Collision avoidance systems are required by law in South Africa. Safety is paramount in South African mines, where the adoption of Collision Avoidance Level 9 (CAL 9) systems is mandated by law. These systems, incorporating cameras, radar, and tags, are pivotal in preventing accidents and ensuring compliance with regulations. This article delves into the importance of CAL 9 in South African mines and how Adept’s collision avoidance systems align with these requirements, offering unparalleled safety benefits.
