Mining
Skin checks that reach every roster, every site
FIFO rosters, remote locations, and 12-hour shifts in open-cut sun. Flare fits around mining operations — workers send a photo to their clinician in under two minutes, from anywhere. No signal on site? The app works offline and sends automatically when they're back in range.
Why mining struggles with screening
Mining operations run on fixed rosters in remote locations — flying a dermatologist to a camp is expensive, and pulling operators off a haul truck for a clinic appointment disrupts the entire shift plan. FIFO workers spend their off-swing catching up on life, not booking skin checks. The further a site is from a regional centre, the less likely screening happens at all. UV exposure is constant, but access to clinical services — and often mobile signal — is not.
Who's affected
UV-exposed roles across mining operations:
How it works
From phone to clinician in under two minutes.
Your worker snaps a photo
Workers open the Flare app on their phone, photograph a concerning spot, and mark where on their body it is. Under two minutes, from anywhere — on site, at home, or between rosters. No Wi-Fi or mobile signal? The app queues it securely and sends it automatically when connectivity returns.
It goes straight to their clinician
The photo and worker details are sent directly to the employer's nominated clinician — the doctor or practice they already trust. Nothing is stored on any server. The image passes through in transit only.
Worker gets confirmation instantly
The worker receives an email confirming their check was delivered to the clinician, with the clinician's name and contact details. The employer sees only aggregate delivery data — no photos, no health information.
“Our workers are 400 km from the nearest dermatologist — now they send a photo to their clinician from camp.”
