Thanks to paperless inspection checklists, the ease and speed of carrying out workplace safety inspection has never been so high, meaning you can accurately determine juts how your safety and employees are faring across your facility.
Workplace safety inspection can today benefit from paperless inspection checklists running on mobile devices, similar to the ones that all employees will be so familiar with from modern life. Whether you choose to go for a tablet or a smartphone, a paperless inspection application is designed to enhance the inspection experience for the inspection officer with new tools. For example if a safety sign is not fixated properly, or there is wear on the safety harness in a manufacturing facility, these are things that need to be visually recorded to properly assess the damage or level of deficiency. With a paperless workplace safety inspection application, the inspection officer can take a picture using the device camera and attach this to the checklist. This means that there is a visual recording of the issue at the time of inspection, which down the line can be incredibly useful for deterioration analysis. The image can of course also be annotated or edited to further highlight a particular issue. Modern inspection solutions also allow fort speech-to-text data entry, standardised response checklist design and scanning of barcodes/RFID to capture information and details. Small changes and features like this in the inspection experience means that officers can determine the safety level quicker and with greater accuracy. This increases the safety level of any asset, operation, or facility, as well as keeping downtime to a minimum.
