Mining equipment pre-operational checklist
Heavy machinery check before every shift. The operator completes it in the field, with or without signal, recording the condition of the equipment.
A 200-tonne haul truck with a degraded service brake does not forgive. Nor does a loader that goes out to work with a hydraulic leak nobody looked at. The pre-operational check is the last barrier before equipment goes into production, which is why it has to be done by the operator who will drive it, not signed off as a formality.
The real problem is not that checklists are missing: it is that they are filled in on paper, without photos, and the faults found get lost between the tool store and the workshop. When the retarder fails on a ramp, it is too late to go back and see whether anyone had reported it.
How to use it with CaptaLog
Copy the template and the operator completes it from their phone before climbing into the machine, even in an area with no signal. If they flag a critical fault — brakes, steering, emergency stop — you can block the equipment from leaving and raise an action straight to the workshop, with the photo and hour meter recorded.
