MSHA compliance for every mine type
Workplace exams, training files, Part 50 incidents, citations, chemicals, contractors, equipment. Captured on a phone in the pit — with no signal — and standing up on the dashboard before the truck is back at the office.
From $450 a month for your first site, $199 for each one after, with unlimited users. One month free when you pay annually. Onboarding is $750, once.

Why it matters
It holds the records somebody remembered to file. It cannot count the exam nobody did, warn you before a refresher lapses, or find last spring's citation while an inspector waits. That is the part Stratum Audit does.
Filled in at the face, carried back in a truck, and filed when somebody gets to it.
Filled in on the phone at the face, signal or not, signed there, and on the dashboard once it is back in range.
A missed exam or a lapsed refresher turns up when somebody goes looking. Sometimes that somebody is the inspector.
The dashboard counts what is overdue (exam schedules, abatement dates, Part 50 clocks, expiring credentials) before anyone asks.
Binders, inboxes and a few spreadsheets, gathered by hand while the inspector waits.
Every record in one place, printable as a document an inspector can read, and exportable as PDF, CSV or JSON whenever you want.
The dashboard
Where the office works. Every section of the record has a page here, and the rail itself counts what has run past a deadline — so the question "is anything late anywhere" is answered before you click into anything.

Findings by severity
This week, across every site
Predictive maintenance
One CFR code recurring across 3+ findings on one asset ·
Recent inspections
| Site | Type | Inspector | Findings | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Workplace exam | R. Alvarez | 7 | 2 high | |
| Equipment | D. Whitfield | 3 | Closed | |
| Berms & roadway | M. Okonkwo | 1 | Overdue | |
| Method 9 opacity | S. Brenner | 0 | Submitted |
Overdue exam schedules, citations past abatement, anything past a Part 50 deadline, expired credentials. Four numbers on the sidebar, each counting exactly what its page opens on.
The last thirty days measured against the thirty before them — open findings, overdue actions, completion rate — so a site drifting is visible while it is still drifting.
Analytics, cross-site benchmarking and the print and export path share one filter bar and one document frame. Roll it up by site, by crew, or across the whole operation.
Admin, manager, inspector, viewer, contractor. The screens gate on role and so does every query behind them — a tampered client still cannot read a row it was not given.
Setup is naming your organization and adding a site. The dashboard fills itself in from there, as the crew walks.
Create an accountThe field app
The same record, in a hand, at the face. It writes locally first and tells you plainly how much is still waiting to go up — because coverage on a mine site is where it is, not where you need it.
Photos, readings and signatures are written to the phone first. Close the app, drop it, drive out of the pit — the walk is still there, and the pending count is on screen until it reads zero.
Each picture lands on the item it belongs to at the moment of capture, so nothing depends on remembering to file it at the end of a twelve-hour shift.
A manager opens to site-wide numbers. Everyone else opens to what their crew owes today, their own shortcuts, and the training they still have outstanding.
Sign-to-complete, participant sign-in, toolbox talk attendance and the three-party training chain are all captured on the phone and travel with the record.
No store, no review queue, no MDM ticket. Open one link on the handset and add it to the home screen — which is how a contractor gets going on their first morning. Walk through putting it on a phone.
No store, no review queue, no MDM ticket — and nothing lost when the signal goes.
Create an accountWhat sets it apart
Most compliance software stops at a checklist and a due date. These are the things underneath it — the ones that decide whether a record survives contact with an inspector.
The examiner photographs the hazard, draws a numbered box on the frame where it is, and picks the 30 CFR paragraph from a searchable list that works with no signal. Every finding is written by the person who saw it, and your photographs never leave your own storage.
The twelve §50.2(h) accidents, in the regulation's own words.
Tick what happened and Stratum Audit tells you whether the 15-minute
§50.10 call is owed — and runs the ten-working-day clock on the
7000-1 after it.
Opacity read into a grid, with the highest averaging-window mean — the number a determination actually turns on — computed as you go. It works out sun position and whether you are standing where the observer rule requires.
Competent trainer signs, operator signs, safety manager approves. Nobody is signed off to run a machine until all three are on the record — and the phone and the dashboard can never disagree about which stage it is at.
A competent trainer is designated per zone and per machine, separately — because competence in an area is not competence on every machine standing in it. Whoever picks a trainer only sees the ones qualified for that job.
The 46.5 and 46.6 curricula ship as the regulation's own seven subjects, not a blank template for you to fill in. Finishing the track mints the credential and starts its expiry clock.
The inspector who finds the defect takes the machine out of service on the spot. Clearing it needs a manager and a repair note. The split is enforced in the database, not by hiding a button.
When one CFR code turns up across three or more findings on the same asset, the dashboard flags it as a likely maintenance root cause. That is a purchase order, not another corrective action.
Print a QR label for the drum. Scanning it opens the current revision of the sheet — no login, and it still works for somebody signed in to their own company on a multi-employer site.
Draw each area as a GPS circle. Drop an asset pin and it knows which zone it fell in — so a walk, a machine and a trainer's designation are all talking about the same piece of ground.
Wind speed, temperature and the direction the plume is drifting fill themselves from conditions at the site at the moment of the reading. Nobody is reconstructing the wind from memory on Friday afternoon.
Not a translated login screen. Each person picks their language and the app is in it — while the record itself reads the same to whoever opens it next.
Two plans, priced per site with unlimited users. The whole suite is in each of them.
See the pricingHow they work together
The phone and the dashboard are two ends of the same record, not two products that export to each other. Here is the whole path a finding takes.
The exam is walked. Each hazard is shot, boxed on the photo and cited from the 30 CFR list by the examiner, on the device first, signal or not.
It sits in a local queue with a count on screen. Nothing is lost if the app closes or the battery goes.
Back in range the batch goes up — the walk, then each photo, resumable and idempotent. Only a complete batch is released.
It lands exactly as the examiner wrote it — the standard, the severity, the box on the photo — and the site's numbers and the rail count it from that moment.
It becomes a corrective action with an owner and a date. A warning 24 hours out, then overdue, then it escalates.
Evidence of the fix attached, signed and timestamped. It opens as a printable document for whoever asks.
The field app keeps working in the pit and syncs when you come back into range — and it tells you, plainly and constantly, how much work is still waiting to go up. A walk is not finished until that count reads zero.
Strat · Plus plan only
Included with Plus, not with Core. Strat reads your forms, the records your crews enter and the text of 30 CFR. It answers questions and drafts forms, task training and toolbox talks. It cannot create, change or sign a record: a person always does.
What is overdue at the North Pit, who is missing a refresher, every guarding finding on Loader 4 since July. Strat reads with the permissions of the person asking, so it sees exactly what they could see — no more.
Strat searches its copy of 30 CFR before it names a section, and a section number it did not look up is struck before anyone reads the answer. It can still be wrong, so every citation opens the regulation's own text: checking is one click.
Photograph a paper checklist or upload the PDF, Word or Excel file, and Strat drafts it in Form Builder — tick boxes, dropdowns and all. No crew can run it until a manager reviews and publishes it.
Name a machine from your asset register and Strat drafts its task training from its make and model: pre-op check, procedure, lockout points, PPE, hazards, shutdown. Toolbox talks too, written to be read aloud to a crew.
Admins and managers have Strat in a panel on the dashboard and on the field app's bottom bar, with the same past conversations on both, so one started at the desk can be picked up at the pit.
Strat cannot reach your photo storage. It sees a photo only when somebody adds one to a conversation on the dashboard, and it has no way to turn one into a finding: what a photo shows is a call for the person who was there.
Strat is the whole difference between the two plans. Everything else is in both.

Questions
One. A site is one mine or operation with its own MSHA Mine ID. The pit, plant and shop inside it are zones, and zones are unlimited. So are users: nobody on either plan is counted per seat.
Yes. Stratum Audit is for every mine type MSHA inspects: surface and underground, metal/nonmetal and coal. Strat's regulation library holds the MSHA standards in 30 CFR, including Parts 56 and 57 for metal/nonmetal, Parts 70 to 77 and 90 for coal, and Parts 46 and 48 for training. The new-miner courses that come already written follow Part 46; Part 48 annual refreshers are tracked like any other credential, each on its own expiry clock.
An administrator adds the site in the dashboard, and the subscription goes up by one site at your plan's additional-site price, prorated for the rest of the billing period. Delete one and you are billed for one fewer, with the unused time credited on the next invoice. Deleting a site cannot be undone, so export its records first.
$750, once per organization, charged at signup. It is not per site, it is not part of the subscription, and adding sites later does not charge it again. If you would rather we came to your operation and walked your crew through it in the field, on-site setup is quoted by location. Get in touch.
The dashboard demo near the top of this page is the real interface on sample data, and anyone can click through it. There is no trial period: the discount is paying annually, twelve months for the price of eleven.
Pay by card, or by invoice on net-30 terms; Stripe emails the invoice to your billing contact. Prices are before tax, which is added where it applies. If a payment runs late, the service keeps going for a period, so an expired card or an invoice sitting in accounts payable does not stop your recordkeeping.
Yes. An administrator changes plan under Manage billing in the dashboard. Your sites and records stay where they are; moving from Plus to Core switches Strat off.
Cancel from the billing portal in the dashboard, and it takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for. You can export your complete data set at any time from Reports, as PDF, CSV and JSON. After the subscription ends the data is kept for 90 days so you can export it, then deleted. Records 30 CFR requires you to keep remain yours to keep, so export them before that window closes. Terms, §10–11.
No. Inspection photographs are never sent to Anthropic or to any other third party; they stay in your organization's private storage. Strat works from your organization's own compliance records, and the only files it sees are ones a person deliberately adds to a Strat conversation. Privacy policy, §5.
Security
These are the records you hand a federal inspector. They are kept apart from every other company's, they cannot be quietly edited, and they leave with you whenever you ask.
Each company's records are kept apart by the database itself, on every table, not by what a screen chooses to show. Captures, findings, assignments, closures and views go into an append-only log that nobody can edit, administrators included. Anything else your IT department wants to know: support@stratumaudit.com.
