Mine Shaft Audit App turns mine shaft audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each mine shaft against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare mine shaft audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Mine Shaft Audit App runs a scored mine shaft audit covering headframe structure and sheave wheels, winding ropes and rope attachments, conveyances, keps, and safety catches, shaft signalling and communications, and shaft ventilation and water control, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, mine shaft findings live on paper and in chat. A mine shaft fault such as rope wear beyond discard criteria slips through. An audit then means rebuilding mine shaft evidence from folders.
Mine Shaft Audit App keeps one record per mine shaft and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each mine shaft finding is tracked to verified closure. Shaft and winding engineers see mine shaft completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every mine shaft record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Mine Shaft Audit App?
A comprehensive mine shaft audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit mine shaft integrity programmes with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for headframe structure and sheave wheels; winding ropes and rope attachments; and conveyances, keps, and safety catches, 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 Mine Shaft Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a mine shaft audit:
Open the mine shaft audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each mine shaft against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall mine shaft score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed mine shaft criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the mine shaft audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Mine Shaft Audit Cover?
A mine shaft audit scores condition against DGMS winding and shaft regulations and statutory rope examination, checking headframe structure and sheave wheels, winding ropes and rope attachments, conveyances, keps, and safety catches, shaft signalling and communications, shaft ventilation and water control, and emergency egress and secondary escape. Each mine shaft finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the mine shaft audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

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

What Mine Shaft Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Mine Shaft work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Mine Shaft Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Every auditor scores the mine shaft audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The mine shaft audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Mine Shaft scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Mine shaft sections get skipped with no record
Mine Shaft scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted mine shaft criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory mine shaft sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable mine shaft scores that roll up across the estate
Assigned contractor signs off the mine shaft fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the mine shaft is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the mine shaft defect is marked closed. Whether the mine shaft work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor mine shaft fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which mine shaft partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any mine shaft action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened mine shaft actions linked back to the original finding
You find out about a mine shaft problem from a complaint
There is no live view of mine shaft status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the mine shaft is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of mine shaft status across sites
Mine Shaft problems surface as complaints, not as data
Mine Shaft risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of mine shaft completion and open issues
Mine Shaft risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter mine shaft results by site and date
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Mine Shaft Audit App check on a mine shaft audit?
Mine Shaft Audit App runs a scored mine shaft audit against DGMS winding and shaft regulations and statutory rope examination, checking headframe structure and sheave wheels, winding ropes and rope attachments, conveyances, keps, and safety catches, shaft signalling and communications, and shaft ventilation and water control. 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 shaft and winding engineers 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 mine shaft defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the mine shaft failures that matter most: rope wear beyond discard criteria, sheave wheel groove wear, signalling faults, and damaged conveyance guides. Left unchecked, a fault such as rope wear beyond discard criteria 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 Mine Shaft Audit App support for mine shaft work?
Mine Shaft Audit App keeps mine shaft checks aligned to DGMS winding and shaft regulations and statutory rope 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 shaft checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Mine Shaft Audit App is offline-first: teams complete mine shaft 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 shaft audit was completed?
Every completed mine shaft audit carries rope condition photo, signalling test record, and conveyance inspection note, 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.
