“BHP auditor asked for proof our guys did the EWP pre-start before the incident. We had a paper form somewhere in the office. Nobody could find it. They shut us down for 3 days while we scrambled through filing cabinets.”

Procedures & Checklists Portal

LiveAudit-ready at point of use · $20K–$60K/yr

QR code on equipment → worker scans with phone → checklist launches in 5 seconds → GPS-stamped, time-stamped, pass/fail result saved. JSEAs, pre-starts, operating procedures, safety docs, maintenance checklists, and inspections — all auditable, all at point-of-use.

How It Works

Step 1

Stick Label on Equipment

Metal Sign & Label aluminium QR label on the EWP, compressor, vehicle, drill rig — any equipment.

Step 2

Worker Scans QR Code

Phone camera scans the label. Checklist launches instantly — no app download, no login screen.

Step 3

Complete Checklist

Tick items, add notes, capture photos. Progress bar shows completion. Required items enforced.

Step 4

Auditable Record Created

GPS coordinates, timestamp, worker name, pass/fail result — all saved. Pull it up in 2 seconds for any audit.

6 Procedure Types

JSEA

Job Safety & Environment Analysis. Workers complete the JSEA at the equipment before starting work. Proof it was done, when, where, by whom.

Pre-Start Checklist

Vehicle and equipment pre-start inspections. Scan QR on the EWP, tick off fluid levels, guards, emergency stop — submit before operating.

Operating Procedure

Step-by-step operating instructions at the machine. New starter scans QR on unfamiliar equipment — procedure appears on their phone.

Safety Procedure

Safety-critical procedures — lockout/tagout, confined space entry, working at heights. Required items enforced. Signature capture available.

Maintenance Procedure

Scheduled and reactive maintenance checklists. Scan QR on the compressor — maintenance steps appear. Photo capture for before/after evidence.

Inspection Checklist

Periodic inspections and audits. Monthly crane inspections, quarterly generator checks — all tracked with pass/fail history per asset.

Paper Checklists (Risk)

  • Paper forms in the office — worker fills in at the donga from memory at 8pm
  • No proof the pre-start was done at the equipment, or even done at all
  • “Where's the JSEA for EWP-003?” — 20 minutes digging through filing cabinets
  • Illegible handwriting, missing signatures, undated forms
  • Auditor asks for evidence — you can't produce it — site shut down
  • Wrong version of procedure — outdated form still in the folder

DrilLedger Procedures Portal (Proof)

  • Checklist completed at the equipment — GPS proves they were there
  • Timestamped submission — 6:42am, not backdated at 8pm
  • “Show me every pre-start for EWP-003 this month” — answered in 2 seconds
  • Photo and signature capture — clear, digital, indisputable
  • Auditor asks — you pull the record on your phone in front of them
  • Always the latest version — update once, everyone gets it on next scan

QR-Triggered

Scan the label on the equipment. Correct procedure launches automatically. No searching, no wrong forms.

GPS-Stamped

Every submission records GPS coordinates. Prove the checklist was completed at the equipment, not in the office.

Photo & Signature

Capture photos of defects, conditions, or completed work. Digital signature for accountability.

Full Audit Trail

Every submission: who, when, where, what they checked, what they noted. Exportable for audits.

Industrial QR Labels by Metal Sign & Label

Anodised aluminium labels that survive mine sites — solvent, chemical, corrosion, and abrasion resistant. QR Code, Data Matrix, and barcode symbologies. Australian-made since 1993.

Order labels directly through DrilLedger. One label on a piece of equipment = tool tracking + procedures + checklists, all from a single scan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about DrilLedger's Procedures & Checklists Portal

How do QR code checklists work on mine sites?

Each piece of equipment, vehicle, or work area gets a durable QR code. Workers scan the code with their phone to instantly access the relevant pre-start checklist, JSEA, operating procedure, or safety document. Responses are GPS-stamped, time-stamped, and stored with photo evidence — creating an audit trail that proves the check was done, where, and by whom.

What types of procedures and checklists does the system support?

The system supports pre-start checklists, JSEAs (Job Safety and Environmental Analysis), SWMSs (Safe Work Method Statements), operating procedures, safety inspections, toolbox talk records, permit-to-work forms, and any custom checklist your operation requires. Each form is configured to match your company's and your client's specific requirements.

How does GPS-stamped evidence help with Tier 1 client audits?

When a BHP or Rio Tinto auditor asks for proof that pre-starts were completed on a specific piece of equipment, you pull it up in 5 seconds — GPS location confirming the worker was at the equipment, timestamp confirming when, photos of any defects noted, and pass/fail results. No paper filing, no searching, no missing records.

Can workers complete checklists offline on remote mine sites?

Yes. The mobile app works offline in areas with no cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. Workers complete their checklists as normal, and the data syncs automatically when connectivity is restored. This is critical for remote WA sites where coverage is intermittent — the checklist is never blocked by a dead zone.

How does the system handle failed pre-start items?

When a worker flags a defect or fail item on a pre-start, the system automatically generates a defect notification, alerts the relevant supervisor, and can lock out the equipment from further use until the defect is resolved. This prevents equipment from being used with known faults and creates a documented chain of action.

How much time do paper-based checklists cost Perth mining suppliers?

Paper-based checklists cost Perth mining suppliers $20,000-$60,000 per year — printing, distribution, collection, data entry, filing, and retrieval during audits. QR-based digital checklists eliminate paper entirely and reduce the time per checklist from 15-20 minutes (including filing) to 3-5 minutes with instant cloud storage.
