MSHA compliance, done end-to-end.
Generic EHS tools bolt on a mining checklist. We built the whole chain in one system — workplace examinations, Part 46/48 training, and Forms 7000-1 and 7000-2 — for sites where crews work a shift with no signal and the record still has to be right before the first machine starts.
The four MSHA legs, on one spine
These are the pieces generic platforms miss or hand off to a spreadsheet. We run all four on one spine, with the signed audit log under everything.
Workplace examinations
Under 30 CFR 56/57.18002, a competent person examines each working place at least once per shift, before miners begin work. We capture the exact four-field record: examiner, date, areas examined, and each adverse condition not corrected plus its corrective-action date. Records are retained for the required one year, on a recurring per-shift schedule with escalation when a condition goes uncorrected.
Part 46 / 48 training
Track new-miner, newly-hired-experienced, task, and annual-refresher training with Form 5000-23 records per miner. Refresher-deadline alerts fire days ahead so a certification never lapses on the job — and the training history is ready to produce the moment an inspector asks.
Form 7000-1
The accident/injury/illness report, due within 10 working days under 30 CFR 50.20. We drive the filing-assist workflow: assemble and validate the report, track the deadline with escalation, deep-link you into the portal, and capture the returned E-Document Number back onto the record.
Form 7000-2
The quarterly employment & production report, due Apr 15 · Jul 15 · Oct 15 · Jan 15. Packets are assembled from the quarter's records, deadline-tracked, and validated before you file — no last-minute scramble to reconcile hours and tonnage.
It is filing-assist, and we say so plainly. We prepare and validate both forms, track every deadline, and deep-link the operator into the MSHA EGov portal to submit. No system can legally auto-file on an operator's behalf — so we do the whole job right up to the submit button, and we don't pretend otherwise.
Built for the shift with no bars
Mines and remote sites with no signal were the design target, not an afterthought. Field capture — incidents, observations, inspections, and workplace exams — saves on the device and syncs the moment a connection returns. Nothing is lost to a dead zone, and nothing waits for someone to get back to the office and re-key it.
- Pre-shift workplace exams completed offline, deep in the pit
- Incidents and inspections captured on the phone in the field
- Sub-2-minute QR near-miss reporting anyone can use — no login, anonymous if they want
- Everything syncs on reconnect, straight into the record and the dashboard
A QR poster at the gate lets any worker report a hazard in three taps — the leading indicators you never used to capture.
From pre-shift exam to a filed quarter
Here's how one day actually runs at a mine on SE Worldwide — less chasing, fewer surprises, and a crew that trusts the tool in their hand.
AM
The pre-shift exam — with no signal, no problem
Maria walks the north bench and records the workplace examination on her phone, deep in a pit with zero bars. The 30 CFR 56/57.18002 record — examiner, date, areas, any uncorrected adverse condition and its correction date — is complete before the first machine starts. It saves locally and syncs the moment she's back in range.
AM
A near-miss, reported before it's forgotten
A loader operator spots a blind spot near the ramp. He scans the QR poster, taps three fields, and it's in — no login, anonymous if he wants. Every near-miss captured is a leading indicator you didn't have yesterday.
AM
The CAPA assigns itself
The report opens a case, an AI assistant drafts the classification and a suggested corrective action for a human to confirm, and the CAPA lands in the right person's queue with a due date. Nobody re-keys anything. Nothing waits for the weekly meeting.
PM
A refresher deadline, caught early
Two miners' Part 46 annual refresher lapses in a week. The platform flagged it days ago and pinged their supervisor — no expired 5000-23, no worker pulled off the job, no scramble at the gate.
PM
Quarter-end: the 7000-2 packet is ready to file
The quarterly 7000-2 packet is already assembled from the quarter's employment and production records and validated. The compliance lead reviews it, e-signs an attestation bound to a SHA-256 hash of the exact content, and the deep-link drops them into the MSHA portal to submit. The audit trail records who signed what, when.
The rest of the mining program, on the same spine
MSHA end-to-end is the sharp edge — but a mine runs on far more than four forms. It's all here, sharing the same records, roles, and signed audit log.
Permits & SIMOPS
Permits-to-work for hot work, confined space, and LOTO on a live permit board — plus SIMOPS checks that flag conflicting jobs when operations overlap in the same working area.
Lone-worker check-ins
Scheduled check-ins for isolated tasks in remote workings. Miss one and it escalates by SMS to a supervisor — so a worker alone in a dead zone is never truly out of sight.
Stop-work authority
Any worker can stop an unsafe job. The stop-work event is logged, routed, and driven to resolution like any other — authority the crew actually has, not a poster on the wall.
Mine profile & multi-mine
Mine IDs, operator and contractor registers, and multiple mines under one tenant — each with its own exams, permits, and dashboard, rolled up for the group.
Investigation & CAPA
Root-cause investigation (5-Why) on incidents and uncorrected exam conditions, with corrective actions that carry an owner, a due date, and escalation until they close.
Teams & SMS notifications
Approvals, overdue escalations, and lone-worker alerts land in Microsoft Teams and by SMS — where crews and supervisors already are, not buried in an inbox.
Ask 30 CFR a plain-English question
We indexed the MSHA rules so the assistant can answer "how often, by when, who signs?" grounded in the actual regulation — and it shows the section it drew from, so you can check its work.
- Answers grounded in 30 CFR, with the citation shown
- Drafts exam conditions, CAPAs, and 7000-1 classifications for review
- It suggests; a person decides — every suggestion and decision logged
Honest by design: it's a drafting and lookup aid, not a compliance oracle. The human makes the call the rule requires.
MSHA rule copilot
Citations shown so you can verify against the rule — the assistant drafts, you decide.
The gate denies the named worker — not just the company — so one lapsed credential doesn't slip in behind a valid contractor account.
Roughly a third of mining is contractors
A company-level check isn't enough. Our site-access gate evaluates the individual worker and denies them when a required Part 46/48 credential or certificate of insurance is missing or expired — even if their employer is otherwise cleared.
- Per-worker credential and COI checks at site access
- Deny on a missing or expired Part 46/48 record — by name
- Part 45 independent-contractor register maintained
- Form 7000-52 contractor ID producible on request
Exposure programs, done to the letter
The occupational-health side of a mine runs on the same spine — sampling, thresholds, and medical records tracked with the same rigor as the exam log.
MSHA silica rule support
Respirable crystalline silica sampling, action-level and PEL tracking, and the medical surveillance and record-keeping the rule requires — structured so results drive controls, not just a filing cabinet.
Industrial hygiene
Exposure monitoring across dust, diesel particulate, noise, and chemical agents — sample events tied to tasks, areas, and workers, with trends the safety team can act on.
Hearing conservation
Audiometric testing, standard-threshold-shift tracking, and noise-exposure records — the full hearing conservation program in one place, deadlines and all.
Respiratory protection
Fit-test records, medical clearances, and cartridge/schedule tracking, linked to the exposures that require them so a due date never slips.
SDS & chemicals
A maintained safety-data-sheet library and chemical inventory feeding HazCom labeling and the exposure programs above.
30-year retention
Medical and exposure records retained for the required 30 years, in a secure system with an attributable, tamper-evident history.
The numbers the check-signer and the underwriter both read
TRIR and DART, leading vs. lagging indicators, action-closure rate, and a site-by-site roll-up — plus the two comparisons that decide budget and premium: how you stack against the industry, and how your loss history reads to an insurer.
- MSHA Part 50 benchmarking — compare your rate against public peer cohorts
- EMR / insurance interpretation — your experience modification rate as a workers'-comp premium multiplier
- Multi-site roll-up and trend lines for the board deck
- Penalty exposure in view: up to ~$90,649 per violation, up to ~$332,376 for a flagrant one
An honest caveat on benchmarking: Part 50 reportable is comparable-not-identical to OSHA recordable, so peer rates are a directional gauge, not a perfect apples-to-apples number. We show the comparison and name the caveat.
