Quarries: a small team, the same standard of record.
A quarry runs with a small first response team and a working fleet. Escudo Mining keeps its plant, its blasting records and its emergency readiness in one place.
Why it matters
Few people, many roles
The first responder is often the loader operator. Competencies have to be current for the person, not the role.
Blasting records
Magazine inspections, the ledger and blast records still apply, however small the operation.
Fixed plant too
Conveyors, crushers and lighting towers have their own daily checks.
- First response teams with positions and the competencies each needs
- Plant pre-starts for the mobile fleet, plus conveyor, crane and lighting checks
- The explosives ledger and magazine inspections reminded at the rule pack’s interval
- Defects to repair with photos, and the machine’s status set from the check
Plant checks in the starter library
- Wheel loader pre-start
- Excavator or shovel pre-start
- Haul truck pre-start
- Mobile crane pre-start
- Conveyor shift check
- Lighting tower or generator check
Starting points to adapt. Limits are never set for you: your site enters its own from the maker and its procedures.
