In West Africa’s mining sector, equipment downtime and unsafe practices have long posed huge challenges to productivity and worker safety. For Ustaz Adams, an engineer and founder of Right Engineering Solutions, the solution lies in one principle: preventive maintenance.
Born in Obuasi, a hub of Ghana’s mining industry, Ustaz Adams witnessed firsthand how poor maintenance culture could cost lives and profits. Today, through RES Group Africa (Right Engineering Solutions) and RES Mining Services, he’s pioneering a new standard.
Why Preventive Maintenance Matters
Instead of waiting for machines to break down, Adams advocates a culture of regular checks, planned servicing, and proactive replacement of worn parts. This approach minimizes sudden failures, reduces accidents, and saves companies money in the long term.
Driving a Culture Shift
Through training programs and on-site mentorship, his companies teach mining staff to take ownership of maintenance. This doesn’t just extend machinery lifespan, it instills a mindset of discipline and safety consciousness.
The Road Ahead
Ustaz Adams’ vision is clear: a West African mining industry that prioritizes both profit and people through safe, preventive practices. As he puts it, “Where there is determination, dedication, and passion for growth, failure becomes a tool for success.”
