Mining Audit App

Mining Audit App turns mining audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each asset against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare mining audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.

What is Mining Audit App?

Mining Audit App runs a scored mining audit covering ground support, roof, and rib condition, ventilation, gas, and dust monitoring, haul roads, berms, and mobile plant separation, emergency egress, refuge chambers, and self-rescuers, and explosives storage and blast exclusion controls, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, mining findings live on paper and in chat. A mining fault such as loose ground or inadequate roof support slips through. An audit then means rebuilding mining evidence from folders.

Mining Audit App keeps one record per mining and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each mining finding is tracked to verified closure. Mine managers and shift supervisors see mining completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every mining record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Mining Audit App?

A comprehensive mining audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit mining operations with structured scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking across sites. Your audit should include sections for ground support, roof, and rib condition; ventilation, gas, and dust monitoring; and haul roads, berms, and mobile plant separation, 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 Mining Audit App

A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a mining audit:

  1. Open the mining audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
  2. Score each asset against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
  3. Let the app calculate the section and overall mining score so the site is comparable to others.
  4. Raise a corrective action for each failed mining criterion with an owner and due date.
  5. Sign off the mining audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.

What Does a Mining Audit Cover?

A mining audit scores condition against DGMS and MSHA standards and ventilation and gas monitoring rules, checking ground support, roof, and rib condition, ventilation, gas, and dust monitoring, haul roads, berms, and mobile plant separation, emergency egress, refuge chambers, and self-rescuers, and explosives storage and blast exclusion controls. Each mining finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the mining audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Gets Checked

  • Ground support, roof, and rib condition
  • Ventilation, gas, and dust monitoring
  • Haul roads, berms, and mobile plant separation
  • Emergency egress, refuge chambers, and self-rescuers
  • Explosives storage and blast exclusion controls

Common Defects It Surfaces

  • Loose ground or inadequate roof support
  • Methane or dust readings outside limits
  • Poor haul-road condition and edge protection
  • Blocked or unmarked emergency egress
  • Mobile plant and pedestrian conflict

Evidence Captured

  • Ground condition photo
  • Gas monitor reading photo
  • Haul-road and berm photo

Templates align to DGMS and MSHA standards, ventilation and gas monitoring rules.

What Mining Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere

Mining work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Mining Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Mining Audit App: Every auditor scores the mining audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

Every auditor scores the mining audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The mining audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.

Problem

  • Mining scoring depends on which auditor showed up
  • Asset sections get skipped with no record
  • Mining scores are not comparable across sites

Solution

  • Weighted mining criteria baked into the audit template
  • Mandatory asset sections, so nothing is skipped
  • Comparable mining scores that roll up across the estate
Mining Audit App: Assigned contractor signs off the asset fix, and nobody checks it

Assigned contractor signs off the asset fix, and nobody checks it

A defect on the asset is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the asset defect is marked closed. Whether the asset work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.

Problem

  • Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
  • Poor asset fixes are only found at the next inspection
  • No record of which mining partners actually perform

Solution

  • Closure photo required before any mining action is signed off
  • Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
  • Re-opened asset actions linked back to the original finding
Mining Audit App: You find out about a mining problem from a complaint

You find out about a mining problem from a complaint

There is no live view of mining status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the asset is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.

Problem

  • No live view of mining status across sites
  • Mining problems surface as complaints, not as data
  • Mining risk is invisible until it becomes an incident

Solution

  • Live multi-site dashboard of mining completion and open issues
  • Mining risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
  • Configurable dashboards filter mining results by site and date

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Mining Audit App check on a mining audit?

Mining Audit App runs a scored mining audit against DGMS and MSHA standards and ventilation and gas monitoring rules, checking ground support, roof, and rib condition, ventilation, gas, and dust monitoring, haul roads, berms, and mobile plant separation, emergency egress, refuge chambers, and self-rescuers, and explosives storage and blast exclusion 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 mine managers and shift supervisors 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 mining defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The audit targets the mining failures that matter most: loose ground or inadequate roof support, methane or dust readings outside limits, poor haul-road condition and edge protection, and blocked or unmarked emergency egress. Left unchecked, a fault such as loose ground or inadequate roof support 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 mine managers and shift supervisors 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 Mining Audit App support for mining work?

Mining Audit App keeps mining checks aligned to DGMS and MSHA standards and ventilation and gas monitoring rules. The photos and readings 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, mine managers and shift supervisors 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 mining checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Mining Audit App is offline-first: teams complete mining 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 mine managers and shift supervisors 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 mining audit was completed?

Every completed mining audit carries ground condition photo, gas monitor reading photo, and haul-road and berm photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, mine managers and shift supervisors 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.
