Implementing Closed-Loop Safety Management for External Contractors Through QR Code Inspections

Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/1908

Supervising safety inspectors to proactively identify issues and ensuring timely rectification by external contractors has long been a challenge in contractor management. By leveraging smartphone GPS systems and the convenience of QR code scanning, closed-loop safety management at contractor work sites has become achievable.

This year, the mine's contractor team has installed 20 QR code signs at key locations including mining areas, dumping sites, roads, and maintenance workshops. When contractor supervisors, safety officers, or on-site managers identify issues, they scan the nearest QR code using WeChat to report inspection details including personnel, date, time, location, and problem description. The process allows photo uploads and automatic GPS positioning through the WeChat Mini Program, enabling "early detection" of safety hazards.

After submission, managers notify site supervisors to implement immediate corrections. Contractors can directly access reported issues through the query function for "timely rectification". During follow-up inspections, managers verify completed corrections through the system's verification module to ensure closed-loop management, while tracking unresolved issues through the supervision feature to achieve "early elimination" of risks. Since implementation, this system has significantly improved operational efficiency, enhanced engineering quality in mining areas, and optimized road maintenance, effectively strengthening safety oversight.

To clarify safety inspection responsibilities and scope for all contractor personnel including project managers, site supervisors, safety officers, and dumping coordinators, the contractor team has established 15 specialized inspection protocol signs at critical locations. Designated personnel must conduct QR code-based risk identification and hazard inspections along predefined routes during each shift, ensuring timely detection and correction of potential issues.
