Introduction
Ensuring compliance with OSHA crane inspection regulations is critical for maintaining workplace safety, avoiding violations, and passing audits. However, manual inspection processes—such as paper-based records and spreadsheets—are time-consuming, prone to errors, and difficult to manage. These inefficiencies can lead to compliance gaps, missed defects, and increased workplace risks.
The OSHA Crane Inspection App streamlines the inspection process, allowing teams to conduct OSHA-compliant crane inspections using a phone or tablet. With powerful features like automated record-keeping, real-time notifications, and analytics, this app ensures accurate documentation, better tracking of inspection trends, and a safer work environment.
