Surface mining

A useful mine shift handover

What the incoming crew needs to know immediately.

Lead with open conditions

List active hazards, equipment held out of service, unfinished corrective actions and route changes. Identify the area and equipment, not only the person who reported it.

Reconcile figures separately

Present production by material and site, then note estimates awaiting scale confirmation. Keep workday and timestamp context so overnight shifts are attributed to the intended mine date.

In practice

Truck 3630 remains Not Active for steering repair; yesterday's loads stay in yesterday's report while the repair carries forward.
