Machine Pre-Start Inspections & Safety Checks

Customizable Reporting Dashboard

Do you have a question?

How do Machine Pre-Start Inspections Work?
  • Pre-operation safety checks or inspections are required by both OSHA (USA) and OHSA (Canada).
  • Operators usually follow a set up inspections that are categorized as:
    • Pre Startup - before starting the machine
    • Operational Checks - when the machine is started before work commences.
  • Each machine can have its own inspection or organizations will use a generic inspection with "N/A" as an option.
Why are Machine Pre-Start Inspections Important?
  1. Capture maintenance issues earlier so you can prevent unplanned breakdowns and machine downtime.
  2. Reduce safety incidents by ensuring machines are in good working order before operated.
  3. Reduce liability by following legal compliance requirements.
Why Digitize Machine Pre-Start Inspections?

Pre-operation safety checks are required by law but in many cases they are not taken seriously by operators. Paper forms are easily dismissed. Digital solutions can be monitored in real-time to ensure inspections are completed correctly and on-time, every time.

  1. Increase Accountability - Features like schedules, real-time activity, rewards and notifications ensure inspections are completed correctly.
  2. Ensure Compliance - Ensure the process is followed correctly. Captured data is clearer and easy to understand for reporting.
  3. Enhance Efficiency and Productivity - More accessible and simplified allowing staff to get it done and start work quickly. Automated reporting reduces manual data inputting requirements.
  4. Real-time Visibility - Know about issues and missed inspections instantly.
