Fall from Height In Pit Risk Control Checklist

by Samantha Fellows, from the Community

10+

This checklist supports fatal risk control verification for fall from height hazards in open-pit mining. It guides verification of haul road and tiphead bund design and construction, minimum heights and widths, and sight distance at intersections. It covers application of primary and specified standoff distances per geotechnical guidelines, worker training in ground control awareness, and documented risk assessments. It also prompts review of shift logs, compliance reports, and immediate rectification of nonconformances before sign off.

Fatal Risk Critical Control Verification - Fall of Ground
This mining safety checklist helps teams verify critical controls that minimize fall of ground risks in both surface and underground operations. It guides competency checks, communication of geotechnical hazards, ground control practices, barriers and exclusion zones, engineered support systems, monitoring, and emergency procedures. Use it to confirm permits, scaling, highwall and bench integrity, water control, and compliance with the Ground Control Management Plan, ensuring safer, compliant work areas.

General Open Pit Inspection Checklist
This general open pit inspection checklist helps mining supervisors and technical staff verify pit safety and compliance at key times, including the start of each shift, after blasting, and following major rain. It covers pit walls and berms, drill and blast controls, floors and hazardous areas, dumps and stockpiles, roads and ramps, signage, traffic management, drainage, windrows, and go-line conditions. Use it to identify hazards, confirm design compliance, and document corrective actions for safer open pit operations.

Open Pit Geotechnical Audit Checklist
Use this KML DMP-aligned checklist to assess geotechnical considerations for open pit mines across planning, design, and daily operations. Review ground control management plans, slope stability, groundwater and drainage, drill and blast near walls, rock reinforcement, monitoring and quality assurance, and training and competency. Verify documentation, hazard controls, and closure planning to meet MSIR requirements and maintain safe, compliant open pit operations.

Falling from Heights Critical Control Verification
Ensure fatal risk controls are in place before any work at height. This checklist guides teams through risk assessment, permits, PPE, tethering, exclusion zones, fall protection selection and inspection, anchor strength, dual connections, platform and ladder safety, weather checks, and emergency response planning. Use it to verify training, calculate clearance distances, and confirm rescue plans are communicated and ready.
