Complete Inspections Anywhere & Anytime with an Inspections App
Safety Management software that includes an Inspections App can help to identify workplace hazards which could lead to incidents. In addition to identifying hazards, workplace inspections also help to uncover process weaknesses, which leads to opportunities to improve operational efficiency.
A comprehensive inspection program includes both general and special inspections. General inspections are conducted regularly, they look at all types of hazards, and cover entire sites. Special inspections are targeted and focus on one specific occupational safety and health risk area, they could be triggered by an incident or by the need to verify compliance with a very specific regulatory requirement. Ideally there should be a mix of both types of inspections, general and specific.
Inspections can be challenging because they need to be conducted in the field or at remote locations, or by moving through a facility, therefore an Inspection App that can operate both online and offline is a mandatory requirement as is an App that will reduce the amount of data entry by using QR code / barcode scanning. It is not possible to conduct inspections sitting in front of a computer, which is why the use of a mobile App for inspections is the best solution. The mobile App empowers workers to complete inspections from anywhere and anytime, and reduces the risk of human error that can be caused by manual processes and paperwork (e.g. collecting data and then separately entering it in a computer or laptop).
A New Hazard Must Trigger an Action Plan
Identifying a new hazard is only the beginning. If no actions are taken, then the inspection would have been of no value. The identification of a new hazard must trigger corrective and preventive actions to make sure that the hazard is eliminated, or that controls are implemented to mitigate risks of incidents.
Fortunately leading mobile Apps for inspections, such as IMEC’s Inspection solution, offer capabilities to create and assign CAPA’s during inspections, assign tasks on the go, synchronize with the Cloud to centralize all action plans and tasks, and even work offline. CAPA’s get sent to the users To-Do List on the Mobile App with email alerts and escalation paths in the event that the CAPA is not addressed within the deadline. Users can close each CAPA assigned to them recording the actions taken and also adding proof such as images with annotation and audio clips.
Creating and launching CAPA’s directly through an Inspection App during inspections ensures that hazards are promptly addressed and not overlooked.
