For underground meal delivery, shaft access, cage scheduling and an authorised handoff point matter as much as distance. Obtain the mine's current operating and safety procedures first.

Compare container dimensions, gross load, stacking and handling with the cage's documented limits. Confirm personnel priority, time slot and escort requirements in writing with the mine owner.

By meal lot and container ID, record surface preparation and departure, cage loading, descent, recipient and empty return. Timestamp delays or changes to route and handoff point.

Product readings, storage and service conditions follow the site's approved food plan. Set electrical equipment, cleaning, waste and emergency steps according to permitted equipment and mine rules.

At shift end reconcile container and waste counts with the surface log. Report missing equipment or access incidents to the mine owner before planning the next dispatch.
