"Our strategic relationship with a com- pany which has expertise in different areas of MSHA compliance which complement Predictive Compliance's proprietary cita- tion management software and analytical services makes enormous sense," said Mark Savit, renowned MSHA compliance attor- ney and general manager of Predictive Compliance. "BROWZ is a recognized lead- er in contractor management with a global reach in the mining industry. We are excit- ed about working together to develop future products that will expand and enhance ser- vices and support to the industry of both Predictive Compliance and BROWZ." Started only three years ago, Predictive Compliance offers a unique approach to mining companies and contractors to easily automate their MSHA compliance manage- ment and more effectively allocate their resources for safer, more efficient opera- tions. The software allows mining organiza- tions to upload citations as they are received, instantly calculate the predicted penalty, and show the impact that citation (and future citations) would have on com- pliance costs, resources and operations. Predictive Compliance also helps decision- makers when planning to contest a citation and provides tools to identify and track potential patterns of violation, quickly com- pile citation data needed to respond to the new Dodd-Frank Act SEC reporting require- ments and to benchmark their performance against other, similar mines. Founded in 2002, BROWZ pioneered modern compliance management solu- tions. First developing software modules specific to MSHA, risk and EHS, BROWZ is a leading provider of contractor prequalifica- tion and ongoing compliance management solutions in the mining industry. With a growing demand for contractor screening services around the globe, BROWZ supports multiple industries beyond mining which include manufacturing, chemical, energy, pharmaceuticals, cement and aggregates. BROWZ' patented technology has been localized in five languages and supported in offices around the world. Both companies' solutions, when used in tandem, help the mining industry realize true risk mitigation and then implement measures to avoid such risk in the future. Their strategic relationship will create bene- fits for customers of both companies with- out adding to costs. www.predictivecompliance.com November 2012 www.coalage.com 59
