Cage Compliance App gives cage compliance a defensible audit trail. Every check is timestamped, photo-backed, and aligned to DGMS shaft regulations and statutory examination, so an auditor sees proof in seconds instead of days. Managers see live cage compliance status and upcoming statutory due dates across every site.
Cage Compliance App evidences mine cage compliance check covering cage structure, floor, and gates, suspension gear and safety catches, gate interlocks and signals, guide shoes and rollers, and overload and load limits, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, mine cage findings live on paper and in chat. A mine cage fault such as worn suspension gear slips through. An audit then means rebuilding mine cage evidence from folders.
Cage Compliance App keeps one record per mine cage and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each mine cage finding is tracked to verified closure. Shaft and winding engineers see mine cage completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every mine cage record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Cage Compliance App?
A comprehensive mine cage inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Track cage and winder compliance with statutory checks, examination evidence, and audit-ready records. Your inspection should include sections for cage structure, floor, and gates; suspension gear and safety catches; and gate interlocks and signals, 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 Cage Compliance App
Compliance evidence is only useful if it is complete and retrievable. Follow these steps for each compliance check:
Open the cage compliance template, mapped to DGMS shaft regulations and statutory examination.
Check each requirement against the cage and capture photo evidence as proof.
Record the date, location, and inspector identity on every submission.
Raise a corrective action for any gap and track it to verified closure.
Sign off. The record is stored and exportable as an audit-ready PDF.
What Does a Mine Cage Compliance Check Cover?
Mine cage compliance evidences the required checks on cage structure, floor, and gates, suspension gear and safety catches, gate interlocks and signals, guide shoes and rollers, overload and load limits, and lighting and communications. The photos each mine cage rule expects are mandatory fields. Mine cage renewals are flagged before they lapse. So mine cage compliance stays a documented fact, not an assurance.

What Cage Teams Fix When Compliance Evidence Lives in One Place
Cage work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Cage Compliance App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
When an auditor asks for cage records, the team scrambles
An auditor visits and asks for proof of the last six cage checks. The records are spread across phones, drives, and a filing cabinet. Compliance is a feeling, not a fact.
Problem
Cage evidence scattered across phones and drives
No quick way to prove a cage check was done
Cage statutory due dates discovered after they pass
Solution
One structured record per check, mapped to DGMS shaft regulations and statutory examination
Audit-ready cage PDF export in seconds, not days
Cage due dates and overdue checks flagged in advance
Assigned contractor signs off the cage fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the cage is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the cage defect is marked closed. Whether the cage work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor cage fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which cage partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any cage action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened cage actions linked back to the original finding
Cage data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some cage records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the cage, so every cage question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Cage records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the cage record
Answering a simple cage question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every cage check and finding
Every cage photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or cage and get an answer instantly
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Cage Compliance App cover in a mine cage compliance check?
Cage Compliance App keeps mine cage compliance current by evidencing cage structure, floor, and gates, suspension gear and safety catches, gate interlocks and signals, guide shoes and rollers, and overload and load limits. The photos each rule expects are mandatory fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. Renewals and statutory due dates are flagged before they lapse. If a check fails, the template opens its follow-up questions and requires photo evidence, so every gap is documented on the spot rather than reconstructed later from memory.
Which mine cage defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The compliance check targets the mine cage failures that matter most: worn suspension gear, gate interlock faults, damaged guide shoes, and overloading. Left unchecked, a fault such as worn suspension gear 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 shaft and winding 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 Cage Compliance App support for mine cage work?
Cage Compliance App keeps mine cage checks aligned to DGMS shaft regulations and statutory examination. 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, shaft and winding 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 mine cage checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Cage Compliance App is offline-first: teams complete mine cage 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 shaft and winding 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 mine cage compliance check was completed?
Every completed mine cage compliance check carries suspension gear photo, gate interlock test note, and cage floor photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, shaft and winding 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.
