Mobile Inspection App that can Create Corrective or Preventive Actions – EHS programs include inspections that help to identify workplace hazards that can lead to incidents. In addition to identifying hazards, workplace inspections also help identify 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; such as tools or hand tools, and can be triggered by an incident or a need to verify compliance with a very specific regulatory requirement, for example OSHA 1926 for the construction industry. Ideally there should be a mix of both types of inspections.
Inspections can be challenging because they need to be conducted in the field or remote locations, or by moving through a facility. Conducting an inspection sitting in front of a computer is not feasible, which is why the use of a mobile inspection app provides far better results. A Mobile Inspection App gives workers a tool that can be used 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). Many industries need the ability to perform inspections offline, without internet connectivity, such as utilities, oil and gas or any organization with a large campus or buildings that do not have WiFi or cellular coverage.
A New Hazard Must Trigger a Corrective / Preventive Action (CAPA)
Identifying a new hazard is only the beginning. If there are no corrective actions taken, then the inspection would have been in vain. The identification of a new hazard must trigger a corrective or preventive action to make sure that the hazard is eliminated, or that controls are implemented to mitigate risks of incidents.
A mobile inspection app must offer capabilities to create and assign corrective and preventive actions during inspections, either assigning these tasks on the go or having them assigned automatically based on the site, location or type of action, synchronize with a common platform to centralize all CAPAs, and even work offline. Also, workers receive details of tasks assigned to them. They can directly complete and close tasks via To Do List features within these Apps, adding details if needed of what was done to resolve the CAPA, such as comments and photographs.
Creating and launching action plans directly through a mobile inspection app during inspections ensures that hazards are promptly addressed and not overlooked.
