Run and schedule inspections

Run a checklist on your phone (pass, fail or N/A for each item, with notes and photos), schedule checklists for each site, and turn failed items into actions or findings.

An admin runs and schedules inspections; builders and businesses also let a safety officer (every site) and a project or site manager (their own sites) do it. A director or executive can read them.

How to run one

  1. Step 1: Open Inspections. Under Start an inspection, choose the Site and the Checklist, then Start.
  2. Step 2: For each item choose Pass, Fail or N/A. Add Notes (needed when it fails) and a Photo.
  3. Step 3: Choose Save for later to carry on another time. It stays In progress.
  4. Step 4: Add General notes and choose Complete inspection.

Failed items

  • Under each failed item, choose an owner under Raise an action: owner and Raise to make a corrective action linked to it.
  • Or choose Give it to one of your contractors to fix to make it a finding for them. The item's photos go with it. See Findings.

How to schedule a checklist

  1. Step 1: Under Schedule a checklist, choose the site, the checklist, How often (daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly) and the first due date.
  2. Step 2: Choose Save schedule. Setting it again changes it; Stop ends it.

What happens next

  • The score is passed ÷ (passed + failed). N/A items are left out.
  • When a scheduled inspection falls due, the site's manager is told once (with no manager, the safety people) and it shows under Needs you. Completing it moves the next due date on.
  • History lists each site's inspections with their scores, with a CSV link.

Without signal

Carry on: answers and photos are kept on your phone and sent when you're back. A scheduled inspection that was already overdue is completed from when it arrives, and shows as recorded later. See Working without signal.
