The workplace exam, signed before the shift
Daily MSHA 30 CFR 56 and 57 workplace examinations captured offline at the face, signed and timestamped before the shift starts, synced when the truck hits the gate.
Industry
GISTM put a name on tailings accountability. Put a record behind the name.
intelliSPEC gives mining operators one signed record for pit, plant, and impoundment. Built for crews working with zero bars and for auditors citing MSHA 30 CFR, GISTM, and ISO 55001.

The value map
Four failure points. One signed record.
Mining loses assets to water, wear, and distance. Each module puts named evidence where the risk actually lives.
Tailings evidence, not assurances
GISTM surveillance checks, corrective actions, and Engineer of Record review cycles held per facility, so the Accountable Executive signs against evidence, not assurances.
Wear rates that flag the spool first
UT thickness on slurry lines, autoclaves, and mill circuits recomputes wear rate and remaining life to API 570 and API 510 practice, flagging the spool before the unplanned shutdown does.
Hoisting gear with a custody record
Hoist ropes, slings, and inspection instruments serialized and tracked by scan, with custody, calibration, and inspection status held against 30 CFR Part 57 hoisting requirements.
One shift, one record
From the 4 a.m. exam to the auditor's query.
Follow a single record through a mining day, from the working face to the moment someone asks for proof.
Capture at the face
The examiner walks the crusher gallery before dawn, no signal underground. Photos, readings, and a signature land on the device and sync at the portal. The exam exists before the shift does.
Verdict at the plant
New UT readings on the slurry discharge line recompute the wear rate. Remaining life drops inside the next planned shutdown window, and the spool moves to the repair list with its evidence attached.
Proof on demand
An MSHA inspector, or the Engineer of Record, asks for six months of exams on one conveyor. One query returns every record with user, timestamp, and signature. Nobody opens a filing cabinet.
Proof path
The next exam is due at dawn.
Bring one pit, one plant, or one tailings facility, and we will map the record from face to audit.
01
MSHA 30 CFR 56 and 57 workplace exams run offline in intelliINSPECT, signed before the shift starts.
02
GISTM surveillance and Engineer of Record review cycles stay on one thread per facility in intelliCOMPLY.
03
intelliNDT holds wear rates and remaining life on slurry lines and fixed plant to API 570 practice.
Answers
Mining questions
Does intelliSPEC support MSHA 30 CFR workplace examinations?
Yes. Workplace exams under 30 CFR 56.18002 and 57.18002 are captured offline at the working place with examiner, timestamp, and signature, and the record is ready before the shift ends as the standard requires. intelliSPEC organizes the record and audit trail rather than certifying compliance on your behalf.
How do tailings dam inspections work under GISTM?
The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management expects documented surveillance, Engineer of Record review, and an Accountable Executive who can stand behind the evidence. intelliSPEC logs each surveillance check, instrument reading, and corrective action against the specific facility and its review cycle, so the evidence assembles as one query.
What software do mining companies use for tailings and fixed plant inspections?
Operators are consolidating tailings surveillance, structural inspection, and fixed plant NDT onto platforms that keep one record per asset. intelliSPEC covers that span, with GISTM surveillance in intelliCOMPLY, workplace and structural exams in intelliINSPECT, and UT wall thickness in intelliNDT.
Does intelliSPEC work underground with no network connection?
Yes. Forms, photos, signatures, and validation logic run fully offline on the device and sync when the crew reaches the portal or camp network. A record started at the face is complete at the face, not reconstructed later at the office.
Can intelliSPEC track hoisting equipment and lifting gear at a mine site?
Yes. intelliTRACK serializes hoist ropes, slings, shackles, and inspection instruments with QR or barcode scans, holding custody, inspection, and calibration status against 30 CFR Part 57 hoisting requirements and site lifting procedures.
How does intelliSPEC monitor wear on slurry pipelines and processing plant?
intelliNDT captures UT thickness readings on slurry lines, cyclone feed, autoclaves, and mill circuits, computes wear and corrosion rates, and projects remaining life against API 570 and API 510 practice, so run, repair, or replace decisions land before the next shutdown instead of during it.
Can intelliSPEC support ICMM and ISO 55001 across a global mining portfolio?
Yes. One record per asset, consistent forms across sites, and a queryable audit trail support ICMM performance expectations and an ISO 55001 asset management system. US sites run the same record against MSHA 30 CFR while international sites map to ICMM and ISO practice.
