237 / AO-00 — PRODUCTION DRILL WORK-ORDER ACTIVATION AND MINE ACCEPTANCE
AO-00 is the original editable one-page Word mine work-order activation and acceptance form for production drilling and blast-hole support. Its SIX printed control questions link the approved geotechnical pad and survey pattern to each source-specific safety interface and a named mine accepting authority.
WHY THIS DRILL WORKFACE CONTROL MATTERS
An equipment hire or drilling work order does not itself authorise drilling near a highwall crest or a mine-controlled charged-hole buffer. Rig stability, silica protection, protected hole collars and actual blast-team information must align with mine work-zone permission before mobilisation.
SIX PRINTED MINE-ACTIVATION QUESTIONS
1. Approved survey pattern/geotechnical pad release show authorised hole locations, burden and edge limits. 2. Drill-rig levelling, isolation, mast stability and manufacturer setup validated. 3. Highwall crest setback and mine flyrock/explosives exclusion briefed to drill crew.
4. Dust extraction and silica respiratory protection maintained at production rig. 5. Hole collar protection, depth, deviation and water ingress documented for blast team. 6. Charged holes and exclusion buffers marked under mine blasting authority control.
REAL SOURCE FIELDS, DEFECTS AND MINE RELEASE
The source is a THREE-COLUMN matrix: ACTIVATION / CONTROL QUESTION, DOCUMENT / PERMIT / EVIDENCE REFERENCE and OWNER / ACCEPTANCE. Its six rows start with pattern approval and end with mine-owned charged-hole buffers; NO Y/N boxes, seventh row or made-up hole specifications are printed.
The actual source REVIEW / CLOSE-OUT includes separate contractor supervisor and mine release authority signatures with DATE / RELEASE REF.
Complete MINE / PIT / WORK AREA, WORK ORDER / MINE ZONE, DATE / SHIFT / PERMIT and CONTRACTOR SUPERVISOR. Contractor and MINE RELEASE AUTHORITY / SIGNATURE with DATE / RELEASE REF are separate; no self-approved drilling or blasting permission.
BUY THIS SINGLE OR THE COMPLETE MINE SAFETY SYSTEM?
This identical original editable purchaser-licensed Word DOCX is ALREADY INCLUDED in the full 386-document Surface Mining Checklist Package and complete Surface Mining Contractor H&S File. The larger set brings all these specialised forms with wider contractor management controls, without requiring a separate purchase of this Single. The mine blast officer retains control of charged-hole areas and authorisations.
