Introduction

Safety checklists are one of the most important safety tools used on construction and industrial sites. Safety checklists, which come in all shapes and sizes from safety audit checklists to hazard identification checklists, ensure that workers have performed the necessary checks to begin or continue conducting work in a safe environment and safe manner.

The problem with safety checklists is that they can be time-consuming, and time-consuming and repetitive tasks often get ignored or 'forgotten'. This has an impact on the safety of your workers, assets, projects and on your own safety compliance and reputation.

Dashpivot solves the admin and record keeping problems associated with traditional safety checklists filled out on paper or in word/excel. The app enables workers to perform safety checklists quickly and easily on their tablet or mobile, which has been specifically designed for ease-of-use and speed (adding photos on the spot), while the software platform enables companies to: 

  • Standardise their safety checklist templates to keep data and information capture standardised and organised

  • Deploy templates to specific projects and teams

  • Keep a forensic like record of all of the completed safety checklists and inspections

  • Get real-time insights and detailed analytics about project and safety performance

Dashpivot's safety management system is the smarter way to manage your safety checklists and processes.

How it works

Key Features

  • Standardise your safety checklists across your workforce

  • Access and fill out checklists on site using the Dashpivot mobile app (also available for tablets)

  • Attach photos on the spot while filling out the form in the app

  • Automatically generate a register of all your checklists

  • Quickly filter and find checklist records

  • Easily see how many checklists were filled out over a specified time period eg. last month

Best Practices

  • Include a photo field so that photos and videos can be attached to the form

  • Use list fields where applicable (eg. area), to make it easy to find records later via the register view, and filter by the list items on any analytics charts

  • In the template settings, make sure the forms are sorted by the date on the form (not the creation date)

  • In the template settings, set the form thumbnail to display the zone/area of the inspection if working on a large site.
