What is Blast Hole Drill Audit App?

Blast Hole Drill Audit App runs a scored blast hole drill audit covering mast raise and lower and locks, drill string, bit, and stabiliser, compressor and air system, levelling jacks and stability, and dust collection and suppression, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, blast hole drill findings live on paper and in chat. A blast hole drill fault such as mast lock failure slips through. An audit then means rebuilding blast hole drill evidence from folders.

Blast Hole Drill Audit App keeps one record per blast hole drill and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each blast hole drill finding is tracked to verified closure. Drill and blast crews see blast hole drill completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every blast hole drill record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Blast Hole Drill Audit App?

A comprehensive blast hole drill audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit blast hole drill operations with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for mast raise and lower and locks; drill string, bit, and stabiliser; and compressor and air system, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.

How to Use Blast Hole Drill Audit App

A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a blast hole drill audit:

  1. Open the blast hole drill audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
  2. Score each blast hole drill against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
  3. Let the app calculate the section and overall blast hole drill score so the site is comparable to others.
  4. Raise a corrective action for each failed blast hole drill criterion with an owner and due date.
  5. Sign off the blast hole drill audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.

What Does a Blast Hole Drill Audit Cover?

A blast hole drill audit scores condition against DGMS and MSHA standards and dust exposure limits, checking mast raise and lower and locks, drill string, bit, and stabiliser, compressor and air system, levelling jacks and stability, dust collection and suppression, and controls, guards, and emergency stops. Each blast hole drill finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the blast hole drill audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Blast Hole Drill Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere

Blast Hole Drill work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Blast Hole Drill Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Blast Hole Drill Audit App: The blast hole drill report is still being assembled by hand

The blast hole drill report is still being assembled by hand

Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting blast hole drill photos, notes, and audit records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the blast hole drill data is days old and the next problem is already live.

Problem

  • Blast Hole Drill reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
  • Leadership reads blast hole drill data that is already days old
  • Every blast hole drill report looks slightly different

Solution

  • Branded blast hole drill reports generate automatically per site and period
  • Scheduled blast hole drill reports reach managers before the morning meeting
  • One consistent blast hole drill report format across the estate
Blast Hole Drill Audit App: Every auditor scores the blast hole drill audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

Every auditor scores the blast hole drill audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The blast hole drill audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.

Problem

  • Blast Hole Drill scoring depends on which auditor showed up
  • Blast hole drill sections get skipped with no record
  • Blast Hole Drill scores are not comparable across sites

Solution

  • Weighted blast hole drill criteria baked into the audit template
  • Mandatory blast hole drill sections, so nothing is skipped
  • Comparable blast hole drill scores that roll up across the estate
Blast Hole Drill Audit App: The same blast hole drill defect comes back every cycle

The same blast hole drill defect comes back every cycle

Mast lock failure, worn bits and drill string wear, air or hydraulic leaks, unstable levelling jacks on the blast hole drill are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each blast hole drill defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The blast hole drill root cause is never addressed.

Problem

  • Repeat blast hole drill defects treated as new every time
  • No history tying findings to the same blast hole drill
  • Budget spent re-fixing the same blast hole drill problem

Solution

  • Full defect history per blast hole drill
  • Recurring issue detection flags repeat blast hole drill problems
  • Root-cause blast hole drill work prioritised by evidence

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Blast Hole Drill Audit App check on a blast hole drill audit?

Blast Hole Drill Audit App runs a scored blast hole drill audit against DGMS and MSHA standards and dust exposure limits, checking mast raise and lower and locks, drill string, bit, and stabiliser, compressor and air system, levelling jacks and stability, and dust collection and suppression. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for drill and blast crews rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.

Which blast hole drill defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The audit targets the blast hole drill failures that matter most: mast lock failure, worn bits and drill string wear, air or hydraulic leaks, and unstable levelling jacks. Left unchecked, a fault such as mast lock failure can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so drill and blast crews fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.

Which standards does Blast Hole Drill Audit App support for blast hole drill work?

Blast Hole Drill Audit App keeps blast hole drill checks aligned to DGMS and MSHA standards and dust exposure limits. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, drill and blast crews pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.

Can teams run blast hole drill checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Blast Hole Drill Audit App is offline-first: teams complete blast hole drill checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So drill and blast crews get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.

What evidence proves a blast hole drill audit was completed?

Every completed blast hole drill audit carries mast lock photo, drill string condition photo, and dust collector photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, drill and blast crews can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
