Run your shift, from handover to report, without leaving the map.
HazView gives Open Cut Examiners one place to take handover, brief the crew, complete inspections, act on non-compliances, and submit the statutory report. The interactive map is the record: live, georeferenced, and always current.
The Old Method:
Handover is a rushed conversation and a paper report you hope covers everything. You brief the crew off notes scribbled in the last ten minutes. Inspections get jotted on a run-sheet and typed up later. When a control isn’t in place, you make a mental note and try to catch the supervisor. The OCE report gets written at the end of a twelve-hour shift, from memory, in a Word document that lives on a drive somewhere.
A statutory examination deserves better than “I’m pretty sure I mentioned that.”
A Day With HazView
05:30 – Handover On The Map
Take handover from the off-going OCE using the interactive map. Instead of talking through a page of notes, you walk the site together on screen. New issues, changed hazards, and what’s outstanding are all pinned exactly where they are. Nothing gets lost in translation because you’re both looking at the same picture.
05:50 – Sign On As Oncoming Examiner
Digitally sign the OCE report as the oncoming examiner. Your acceptance of the handover is captured, timestamped, and attached to the record, with no paper to file and no signature to chase.
06:00 – Pre-Start
Run the pre-start with HazView on the screen at the front of the room. Bring up the new hazard on the map, show the crew the photos, and walk them through the controls that are in place. Everyone sees the same thing: the actual hazard, not a description of it. The message lands, and there’s no ambiguity about what’s changed.
08:00 – Out On Inspection
Head out and complete your inspections. HazView guides you around the areas you’re examining, and you log each one as you go, with observations and photos captured against the location, in real time. No run-sheet to decipher back at the office.
09:15 – A Control Isn’t In Place
You reach a hazard and find a required control isn’t in place. Mark it as non-compliant right there in HazView and tag the responsible supervisor, and they’re emailed immediately with the location, the photo, and what needs fixing. The clock is running and it’s documented from the moment you found it.
10:30 – Dusty Conditions
Conditions in a work area are getting dusty. Add photos straight to the map and log that the water carts have been directed to focus on that circuit. It’s on the record, visible to the next shift and to anyone reviewing the area, not just a call over the radio that disappears.
17:00 – Confirm Your Inspections
Back in at the end of shift, you confirm every inspection is logged. HazView shows you what you’ve covered against what was required, so there’s no wondering whether something slipped through. Your examination is complete and evidenced.
17:30 – Handover & Submit
Complete handover with the oncoming OCE on the map, the same clear picture you were given this morning. Then submit your report from within HazView. Everything you logged through the shift is already in it. No writing it up from memory, no Word document, no drive to save it to.

The Bottom Line
“Handover used to be a page of notes and a hope. Now we stand at the map and I know exactly what I’m taking on, and my report’s done before I leave.”
HazView turns the OCE’s shift into a single, connected record, from handover to submitted report, so the examination is complete, evidenced, and never written from memory.
