Drilling & Exploration
Remote sites, tight teams, zero room for compliance surprises.
Drilling and exploration work takes small, skilled teams to remote locations on behalf of multiple clients. When your rig is hours from the nearest town, a compliance issue that should have been caught weeks ago becomes a very expensive problem. GO! Site Ready keeps your team ahead of it.

Remote work means compliance problems have to be solved before departure.
When your team is operating hours from the nearest town, there's no quick fix for a lapsed credential discovered on arrival. GO! Site Ready sends tiered alerts at 30, 14, and 7 days before anything expires — so everything is sorted before your team leaves the yard, not after they've arrived on site.
Different clients, different portals, different site requirements.
Drilling contractors work across multiple clients and sites, each with their own entry requirements. GO! Site Ready maps compliance requirements by site and role, so your team is always checked against the right set of rules — regardless of which client or site they're heading to next.
In a small team, one person unavailable has a big operational impact.
When your team is lean, a single worker turned away at a remote site doesn't just create an admin problem — it can shut down the day's work entirely. GO! Site Ready tracks credentials proactively so compliance issues surface with enough lead time to fix them, not enough to derail a project.
Why drilling and exploration compliance is its own problem
Drilling teams are small. Sites are remote. Clients change. Conditions change. None of those things are in your control — but your compliance system has to absorb all four without breaking.
A typical drilling contractor will have 10 to 60 field staff moving across multiple client tenements, often hours from the closest town and sometimes days from the nearest office. The compliance burden — RIIs, driller’s licences, fitness for work, site-specific inductions, gas tickets, working-at-heights, confined-space, plus whatever the client portal demands — has to be sorted before the truck rolls. Discovering a lapsed VoC at the gate of a remote tenement isn’t an inconvenience. It’s a wasted day, a frustrated client, and an awkward phone call.
What changes when compliance lives in one system
When you stop running compliance through spreadsheets, calendar reminders, and the memory of one trusted coordinator, three things shift:
- Departure becomes calm. Tiered alerts at 30, 14, and 7 days mean expiries are caught with enough runway to fix them — not on the morning of mobilisation.
- Client diversity stops being a multiplier. When a worker has to comply across Glencore, BHP, Rio Tinto, and a junior explorer simultaneously, the platform tracks each client’s requirements separately and tells you who’s cleared for which.
- Key-person risk drops. When the coordinator is on annual leave, the system doesn’t go on leave. Anyone with access can run a compliance check, generate a report, or upload a renewed ticket.
For drilling contractors who’ve outgrown spreadsheets but don’t need a full enterprise HSEQ stack, the contractor compliance software platform sits squarely in the middle — built for the realities of remote, multi-client, mobile work.
What teams typically use it for
The most common workflows: pre-mobilisation compliance checks against the specific tenement and role, weekly Compliance Reports scheduled to the coordinator and ops manager, External Identifier links to jump straight from a worker profile to their record in each client portal, and audit-ready exports when a client wants a document trail before the next campaign.
“GSR has given us one easy spot to view all our workers upcoming competencies and inductions requiring our attention, rather than multiple spreadsheets and portals!!”
