Face Development Checklist for Underground Mines

This face development checklist supports underground mining crews and supervisors to verify critical controls before, during, and after drilling and charging. It covers gas monitoring and ventilation, water spraying, loose rock dressing and scaling, mucking after scaling, equipment availability, and resin capsule condition and expiry. It also includes face drilling setup, hole length checks and cleaning, line hole drilling, correct stemming, delay sequence, and leaving line holes uncharged where required. Guidance notes reinforce safe sequences for drilling and charging and proper misfire assessment and handling in line with site procedures and standards. Use this template to improve consistency, reduce misfire risk, and maintain a safe face profile.
