Blast Inspection App runs structured blast inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each blast, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see blast compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Blast Inspection App runs a structured blast inspection covering blast design, pattern, and drilling, explosive handling, storage, and accounting, charging, stemming, and tie-in, exclusion zone, guarding, and warnings, and misfire procedure and post-blast check, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, blast findings live on paper and in chat. A blast fault such as drilling or pattern deviation slips through. An audit then means rebuilding blast evidence from folders.
Blast Inspection App keeps one record per blast and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each blast finding is tracked to verified closure. Shotfirers and blast engineers see blast completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every blast record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Blast Inspection App?
A comprehensive blast inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect blasting operations with pattern, charging, and exclusion zone checks plus evidence for each shot. Your inspection should include sections for blast design, pattern, and drilling; explosive handling, storage, and accounting; and charging, stemming, and tie-in, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Blast Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps blast inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned blast template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, blast, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the blast.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially drilling or pattern deviation, an explosive accounting discrepancy, poor stemming or tie-in, an exclusion zone breach.
For every failed blast item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the blast form. The blast report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Blast Inspection Cover?
A blast inspection covers blast design, pattern, and drilling, explosive handling, storage, and accounting, charging, stemming, and tie-in, exclusion zone, guarding, and warnings, misfire procedure and post-blast check, and vibration, air overpressure, and flyrock control. Shotfirers and blast engineers capture photo evidence on each blast point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the blast round off. So every blast record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

How Blast Inspection App Runs a Blast Inspection
Step 1
Define and Deploy
Build the blast template with objective pass-fail criteria and schedule it to mobile teams.
Step 2
Capture and Verify
Inspectors run the inspection with photo evidence on each finding, such as drilling or pattern deviation, an explosive accounting discrepancy, poor stemming or tie-in, an exclusion zone breach, and failed items raise corrective actions.
Step 3
Report and Improve
Dashboards built on verified blast data reveal recurring patterns on the blast across every site.

What Blast Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Blast work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Blast Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Blast checks signed off on paper with no proof the blast was actually checked
A blast inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the blast was actually checked, and whether drilling or pattern deviation, an explosive accounting discrepancy, poor stemming or tie-in, an exclusion zone breach were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the blast passed.
Problem
Blast checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm drilling or pattern deviation, an explosive accounting discrepancy, poor stemming or tie-in, an exclusion zone breach were actually inspected
Blast findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital blast form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every blast check
Blast findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Blast issues get logged, then quietly forgotten
A failed item is noted during a routine inspection. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next inspection finds the same problem on the same blast. The blast issue is logged, not closed.
Problem
Failed blast items noted but never assigned to anyone
No due date on a blast fix, so nothing is ever overdue
The blast fix is marked done with no proof it happened
Solution
Every failed blast item becomes an owned corrective action
Closure needs a blast verification photo before sign-off
Overdue actions escalate automatically
Blast data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some blast records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the blast, so every blast question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Blast records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the blast record
Answering a simple blast question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every blast check and finding
Every blast photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or blast and get an answer instantly
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Blast Inspection App check on a blast inspection?
Blast Inspection App runs a structured blast inspection covering blast design, pattern, and drilling, explosive handling, storage, and accounting, charging, stemming, and tie-in, exclusion zone, guarding, and warnings, and misfire procedure and post-blast check. Each point is captured on mobile with photo evidence against it, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so shotfirers and blast engineers work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which blast defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection targets the blast failures that matter most: drilling or pattern deviation, an explosive accounting discrepancy, poor stemming or tie-in, and an exclusion zone breach. Left unchecked, a fault such as drilling or pattern deviation 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 shotfirers and blast engineers 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 Inspection App support for blast work?
Blast Inspection App keeps blast checks aligned to explosives regulations and quarry and mine blasting standards. 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, shotfirers and blast engineers 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 checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Blast Inspection App is offline-first: teams complete blast 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 shotfirers and blast engineers 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 inspection was completed?
Every completed blast inspection carries blast pattern record, exclusion zone photo, and post-blast check note, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, shotfirers and blast engineers 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.
