Mine Shaft Inspection App runs structured mine shaft inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each mine shaft, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see mine shaft compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Mine Shaft Inspection App runs a structured mine shaft inspection 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 Inspection 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 Inspection App?
A comprehensive mine shaft inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect mine shafts with lining, services, ladderway, and spillage checks plus defect logging. Your inspection 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 inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Mine Shaft Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps mine shaft inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned mine shaft template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, mine shaft, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the mine shaft.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially rope wear beyond discard criteria, sheave wheel groove wear, signalling faults, damaged conveyance guides.
For every failed mine shaft item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the mine shaft form. The mine shaft report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Mine Shaft Inspection Cover?
A mine shaft inspection covers 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. Shaft and winding engineers capture photo evidence on each mine shaft point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the mine shaft round off. So every mine shaft record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Mine Shaft Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Mine Shaft work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Mine Shaft Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Mine Shaft checks signed off on paper with no proof the mine shaft was actually checked
A mine shaft inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the mine shaft was actually checked, and whether rope wear beyond discard criteria, sheave wheel groove wear, signalling faults, damaged conveyance guides were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the mine shaft passed.
Problem
Mine Shaft checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm rope wear beyond discard criteria, sheave wheel groove wear, signalling faults, damaged conveyance guides were actually inspected
Mine Shaft findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital mine shaft form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every mine shaft check
Mine Shaft findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
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 Inspection App check on a mine shaft inspection?
Mine Shaft Inspection App runs a structured mine shaft inspection 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. 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 shaft and winding 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 mine shaft defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection 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 Inspection App support for mine shaft work?
Mine Shaft Inspection 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 Inspection 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 inspection was completed?
Every completed mine shaft inspection 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.
