Pre-Strip and Mining Inspection Checklist

by David Acason, from the Community

This pre-strip and mining inspection checklist supports safe, compliant surface mining operations. It covers pre-start discussions, communication of previous shift hazards, and adherence to OCE and geotechnical guidelines. Inspect haul roads and ramps for width, signage, cambers, bunding, delineators, and sheeting. Validate digger relocations and check bench and loading areas for conformance to designs, safe dig face heights, crest line hazards, bunding, high wall condition, lighting, and light vehicle park up areas. Review dump areas for height limits, cracks, drainage, bunding, and JSA controls. For coal mining, confirm geology approvals, surveys, and geoplan understanding. Assess ROM lighting and drainage. Consider weather forecasts, flooding risks, and contingencies for heavy rainfall. Verify go-line signage and lighting, crib hut housekeeping and lighting, and float ramp compliance. Conclude with notes and supervisor sign-off.

Supervisor Shift Report Template
This supervisor shift report template helps mining supervisors document plan compliance and production performance each shift. Record dig rates, trucking allocation, volume targets and short interval controls. Verify Minestar functionality and dump compliance, including bund height and thickness, and attach work area photos. Log safety issues, job safety analyses, pre starts, light vehicle and plant checks and instructions from the OCE. Inspect crib huts, go lines, haul roads and ramps for signage, width, camber, delineators and road sheeting. Review bench and loading areas for safe operation, bunding, lighting and designated park up bays. Assess dump areas for height limits, drainage, cracks and alignment with weekly plans.

CVM Thiess Supervisor Inspection Checklist
This CVM Thiess Supervisor Inspections checklist supports open cut mining supervisors in planning and verifying safe, compliant operations across the pit. Review pre-start communications, OCE hazards, JSAs, and shift safety concerns. Inspect excavators and dozer activities, bunding, bench height and angle, geotechnical hazards, and compliance to design. Assess dumps for signage, access control, drainage, dump height, face alignment, and dozer guidance. Check haul roads and ramps for surface condition, delineation, signage, grades, cambers, and traffic controls. Verify water truck practices, in-pit refuel bays, crib huts and park-up areas, lighting, and housekeeping. Capture photos, notes, and sign off for traceable actions and handover.

CVM Thiess Supervisor Inspections
A practical supervisor inspections checklist tailored for Thiess mining operations. It guides shift leads through pre-start communications, weather checks, and JSA reviews; evaluates excavator setups, bench conditions, bunding and design compliance; records dump area controls, geotechnical hazards, co‑disposal, and dozer guidance status; audits haul roads and ramps for signage, delineation, widths, grades, and drainage; observes water truck practices and in‑pit refuel bay standards; and inspects crib huts, park‑ups, lighting, and housekeeping. The template supports photo capture, notes, and final acknowledgment and sign‑off to improve safety and operational compliance.

Mining Drill Preparation Checklist
This mining drill preparation checklist supports safe, compliant handover of production work areas to drilling and blasting. It covers schedule details, required plans and drawings, and verification of access tracks, ramps, intersections, bunding at faces and edges, drainage, and geotechnical controls. It includes checks for bench surface preparation, removal or relocation of pumps, pipelines, cables, towers and other infrastructure, AOZ and signage, design limits and survey, and environmental permits to disturb. Additional items address dust management, spontaneous combustion risk and gas monitoring, crib hut siting, float loading/unloading space, other hazards, and controls for any non‑compliance, with periodic sign‑off during prep progress.
