Drill Rig Audit App turns drill rig audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each drill rig against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare drill rig audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Drill Rig Audit App runs a scored drill rig audit covering mast, feed frame, and guides, hydraulic hoses, rams, and leaks, rod handling and breakout controls, guards over rotation and moving parts, and emergency stops and controls, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, drill rig findings live on paper and in chat. A drill rig fault such as hydraulic hose or ram leaks slips through. An audit then means rebuilding drill rig evidence from folders.
Drill Rig Audit App keeps one record per drill rig and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each drill rig finding is tracked to verified closure. Drill and blast crews see drill rig completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every drill rig record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Drill Rig Audit App?
A comprehensive drill rig audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit drill rig operations with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for mast, feed frame, and guides; hydraulic hoses, rams, and leaks; and rod handling and breakout controls, 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 Drill Rig Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a drill rig audit:
Open the drill rig audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each drill rig against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall drill rig score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed drill rig criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the drill rig audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Drill Rig Audit Cover?
A drill rig audit scores condition against DGMS and MSHA standards and PUWER, checking mast, feed frame, and guides, hydraulic hoses, rams, and leaks, rod handling and breakout controls, guards over rotation and moving parts, emergency stops and controls, and dust suppression and exhaust. Each drill rig finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the drill rig audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

How Drill Rig Audit App Scores a Drill Rig Audit
Step 1
Score Consistently
Weighted criteria are built into the drill rig audit template.
Step 2
Evidence Every Finding
Auditors attach photo proof for each drill rig non-conformance.
Step 3
Compare and Act
Scorecards rank sites and failed drill rig criteria become corrective actions.

What Drill Rig Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Drill Rig work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Drill Rig Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
The same drill rig defect comes back every cycle
Hydraulic hose or ram leaks, worn mast guides and feed chains, unguarded rotation hazards, rod-handling faults on the drill rig are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each drill rig defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The drill rig root cause is never addressed.
Problem
Repeat drill rig defects treated as new every time
The drill rig report is still being assembled by hand
Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting drill rig photos, notes, and audit records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the drill rig data is days old and the next problem is already live.
Problem
Drill Rig reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
Leadership reads drill rig data that is already days old
Every drill rig report looks slightly different
Solution
Branded drill rig reports generate automatically per site and period
Scheduled drill rig reports reach managers before the morning meeting
One consistent drill rig report format across the estate
Every auditor scores the drill rig audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The drill rig audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Drill Rig scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Drill rig sections get skipped with no record
Drill Rig scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted drill rig criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory drill rig sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable drill rig scores that roll up across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Drill Rig Audit App check on a drill rig audit?
Drill Rig Audit App runs a scored drill rig audit against DGMS and MSHA standards and PUWER, checking mast, feed frame, and guides, hydraulic hoses, rams, and leaks, rod handling and breakout controls, guards over rotation and moving parts, and emergency stops and controls. 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 drill rig defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the drill rig failures that matter most: hydraulic hose or ram leaks, worn mast guides and feed chains, unguarded rotation hazards, and rod-handling faults. Left unchecked, a fault such as hydraulic hose or ram leaks 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 Drill Rig Audit App support for drill rig work?
Drill Rig Audit App keeps drill rig checks aligned to DGMS and MSHA standards and PUWER. 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 drill rig checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Drill Rig Audit App is offline-first: teams complete drill rig 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 drill rig audit was completed?
Every completed drill rig audit carries mast and feed photo, hydraulic leak photo, and guard condition 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.
