The job you're hiring this for
Closing out safety observations before they become a reportable incident, and keeping ISO 45001 / IATF evidence audit-ready across multiple plants.
Field inspectors walk the site on iOS or Android. No WiFi or cellular network needed in basements or remote facilities.
Camera images capture device metadata, GPS coordinates, and timestamp signatures to eliminate retrofitted audit logs.
Any failed checklist item automatically opens a corrective action ticket with an assigned owner, countdown SLA, and reminder trail.
Complete evidence package compiles in seconds into a verifiable PDF report ready for visiting auditors or certification bodies.
Interlock on a guard defeated to keep the line running
Isolation performed without zero-energy verification
Contractor working on site with no induction record
Aspect register not revised after a process change
Weighted questions with auditor guidance, and on most of them the clause each question evidences — ready to run, or to edit into your own house standard.
How many you can install depends on your plan: Essentials installs 3, Starter 25, and higher plans have no template limit.
