If you are looking for Mining Inspection Forms, you have come to the right place.
With Field Eagle, you have access to this checklist, amongst hundreds of others. You can also build your own templates, forms, checklists and more.
An MSHA mining inspection checklist is used to ensure that surface and underground mining operations comply with Mine Safety and Health Administration regulations under 30 CFR Parts 56 and 57 before each shift and during periodic safety reviews.
To use this checklist, a competent person should inspect all working areas of the mine before miners begin work on each shift. The inspection covers all active working areas, haulage roads, equipment, ventilation systems, ground support, electrical systems, and emergency equipment. All hazardous conditions found during the inspection must be corrected or miners withdrawn from the affected area before work commences. Inspection records must be maintained and made available to MSHA inspectors on request.
MSHA requires that a competent person inspect each working place at least once each shift for conditions that may adversely affect safety or health under 30 CFR 56.18002 for surface mines and 57.18002 for underground mines. This checklist provides a structured framework for conducting and documenting these mandatory pre-shift inspections, creating the records that demonstrate compliance with MSHA working place exam requirements.
Field Eagle is the best way to conduct your inspections and improve your asset management operations. Field Eagle allows you to conduct all of your inspections faster and more accurately than ever before, and build historical data that can help you predict future trends to plan maintenance or purchasing decisions with more accuracy.
Unlike paper checklists or basic spreadsheets, Field Eagle connects every inspection finding directly to the asset it relates to, triggers corrective actions automatically, and builds a longitudinal condition history across every inspection cycle. AI Preventative Maintenance then analyses that accumulated history to predict failures before they happen.

MSHA regulations require pre-shift inspections of all working areas before miners begin each shift. A structured MSHA mining inspection checklist ensures every required inspection point is covered consistently, the competent person documents their findings in the manner MSHA requires, and the records are maintained in a form that satisfies MSHA inspector requests. Failure to conduct and document pre-shift inspections is one of the most common MSHA citations.
