Underground Inspection Audit App

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

What is Underground Inspection Audit App?

Underground Inspection Audit App runs a scored underground audit covering ground and roof support, ventilation and gas levels, haul roads and access, equipment and machinery, and emergency and escape systems, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, underground findings live on paper and in chat. An underground fault such as roof or ground instability slips through. An audit then means rebuilding underground evidence from folders.

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

What to Include in an Underground Inspection Audit App?

A comprehensive underground audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit underground inspection programmes with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking across sites. Your audit should include sections for ground and roof support, ventilation and gas levels, and haul roads and access, 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 Underground Inspection Audit App

A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run an underground inspection audit:

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

What Does an Underground Audit Cover?

An underground audit scores condition against DGMS and MSHA, checking ground and roof support, ventilation and gas levels, haul roads and access, equipment and machinery, and emergency and escape systems. Each underground finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the underground audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Gets Checked

  • Ground and roof support
  • Ventilation and gas levels
  • Haul roads and access
  • Equipment and machinery
  • Emergency and escape systems

Common Defects It Surfaces

  • Roof or ground instability
  • Gas above limit
  • Haul road defect
  • Equipment fault
  • Emergency system failure

Evidence Captured

  • Gas reading with location
  • Support condition photo
  • Haul road photo

Templates align to DGMS, MSHA.

What Underground Inspection Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere

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

Underground Inspection Audit App: You find out about an underground inspection problem from a complaint

You find out about an underground inspection problem from a complaint

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

Problem

  • No live view of underground inspection status across sites
  • Underground Inspection problems surface as complaints, not as data
  • Underground Inspection risk is invisible until it becomes an incident

Solution

  • Live multi-site dashboard of underground inspection completion and open issues
  • Underground Inspection risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
  • Configurable dashboards filter underground inspection results by site and date
Underground Inspection Audit App: Every auditor scores the underground inspection audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

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

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

Problem

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

Solution

  • Weighted underground inspection criteria baked into the audit template
  • Mandatory underground sections, so nothing is skipped
  • Comparable underground inspection scores that roll up across the estate
Underground Inspection Audit App: Underground Inspection issues get logged, then quietly forgotten

Underground Inspection issues get logged, then quietly forgotten

A failed item is noted during a routine audit. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next audit finds the same problem on the same underground. The underground inspection issue is logged, not closed.

Problem

  • Failed underground inspection items noted but never assigned to anyone
  • No due date on an underground fix, so nothing is ever overdue
  • The underground fix is marked done with no proof it happened

Solution

  • Every failed underground inspection item becomes an owned corrective action
  • Closure needs an underground verification photo before sign-off
  • Overdue actions escalate automatically

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Underground Inspection Audit App check on an underground audit?

Underground Inspection Audit App runs a scored underground audit against DGMS and MSHA, checking ground and roof support, ventilation and gas levels, haul roads and access, equipment and machinery, and emergency and escape systems. 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 supervisors and safety officers 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 underground defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The audit targets the underground failures that matter most: roof or ground instability, gas above limit, haul road defect, and equipment fault. Left unchecked, a fault such as roof or ground instability 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 supervisors and safety officers 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 Underground Inspection Audit App support for underground work?

Underground Inspection Audit App keeps underground checks aligned to DGMS and MSHA. 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 supervisors and safety officers 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 underground checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Underground Inspection Audit App is offline-first: teams complete underground 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 supervisors and safety officers 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 an underground audit was completed?

Every completed underground audit carries gas reading with location, support condition photo, and haul road 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 supervisors and safety officers 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.
