With the extensive and relevant experience of both Sharyn McCulloch and senior consultant, Ralph Schwarz, SMRS has identified and mitigated potentially hazardous site practices and equipment that could have cost lives and severely impacted project budgets.
SMRS is well-regarded by Australian companies in the oil and gas, mining, drilling, stevedoring, and service industries for our professionalism and working knowledge of industry practices across a large number of sites. We deliver on-time, to budget, and provide high levels of customer service for all of our clients.
"Our drill rig audits are planned inspections that identify and address potential issues. We conduct physical rig inspections on site to ensure the rig operates at its maximum capacity - the greatest possible outcome for the operator. We can also train new staff in the field while we conduct the audit to assist them to identify any future issues with the rig."
"Over a number of years, our clients have relied on us to add value to their mine management activities. We keep mining contractors on track, identify risks, audit drill rigs, train staff, and keep our eyes open to issues that can cause risk to our clients' operations and reputation."

"BMA Geological Services has used SMRS since 2003 for safety management system and compliance audits of exploration drilling, geological and geophysical contactors working on BMA sites. These audits have addressed various compliance requirements including BHP Billiton and BMA HSEC policies and systems, Queensland Coal Mining Safety and Health Act / regulations, Queensland Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act / regulations.
SMRS Contractor Management has streamlined processes for managing external contractor groups resulting in efficiencies and consistent approaches across our operations. We believe the service provided has been of significant benefit in reducing incident rates in our continuing journey to Zero Harm."
