Love the ease of configuration and use. Ability for "Repeatables" in a record is great. Responsiveness of tech support.
Fulcrum's service was excellent when we first selected it and has continued to evolve with high quality, useful enhancements. Good support too.

Reporting, Accidents, Injuries, Illnesses
Operator must maintain accident investigation reports required by 50.11 for 5 years after occurrence
Operator must investigate all accidents and injuries and submit report to MSHA

Fuel lines shall be equipped with valves capable of stopping fuel flow at the source
Battery charging stations: properly ventilated, no smoking or use of open flames, readily visible warning signs posted preventing smoking and open flame use
When welding or cutting, an appropriately rated fire extinguisher shall be at the work site
Oxygen cylinders shall not be stored in areas designated for storage of flammable liquids
Keep gauges and regulators used with oxygen and acetylene cylinders clean and free from oil and grease
Valves on oxygen and acetylene cylinders shall be closed when: moved, torch/hoses left unattended, or task is completed
Take proper precautions before welding, cutting, or applying heat to pipelines/containers with flammable liquids, gases, or explosive solids
Signature
In a mine site, it is imperative to operate under compliance with the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) standards and regulations. Ensure that the mine site provides respiratory protection, employs proper hazard communication, equipped in case of electrical or fire safety precautions, and more. Make sure each detail of the safety standards are covered and customize this inspection checklist to accommodate additional requirements as needed. This mobile checklist works in both on and offline environments.
