General open pit/quarry inspection
This app was created for small mines, quarries and other extractive industries to help identify workplace hazards in order to prevent accidents and injuries. Using a checklist helps provide a consistent workplace inspection process and documentation that proper protocol is being followed at all times. This checklist can be customized to accommodate the needs of a specific work site. Conduct the safety inspection at regular intervals - high-risk areas require more frequent assessment - to ensure the lowest risk of injuries to staff and damage to company property.
